Thought I'd introduce myself!
I'm 22, live in Phoenix, have a bf and a Golden Retriever (and both are even lazier than me!). Right now, I'm 5'5" and 153("ish") pounds.
So basically I was that girl that everybody hated (you know... never worked out but always thin and fit) until a couple years ago. I got a sedentary job, and a sedentary boyfriend, and the weight started creeping on. In the last year and a half I've put on about 30 pounds, which has wreaked havoc on my self-esteem... and my wallet, since I've had to buy a whole new wardrobe!!
It doesn't seem like much but the way that I have put on the weight makes me very uncomfortable.. it has all gone to my midsection, butt and thighs. I no longer possess a waist, although I sport an adorable
little Buddha belly. And apparently I am prone to cellulite and stretch marks, because I now have them in abundance. Who gets stretch marks on their knees?? I didn't even gain any weight around my knees!!!!!
So I am SICK of the rolls and the cottage cheese (can't do anything about the stretch marks, sigh) and I am really, honestly going to do something about it this time. I am going today after work to join a gym and I AM GOING TO GO. (I have a bit of an issue with motivation: I have none.)
At my sexiest I weighed in at about 125 pounds of lean muscle, and that is my goal. It was only five years ago. I can still get that body back.
I am going to be getting married sometime in the next couple years (depends on how long he takes to ask
) and dammit, I am going to be smokin' hot in the pictures.
Anyway, hi.
Hey all, newbie here!
