I've been kind of lurking on the forum for the past couple of days and i finally decided to post. I'm so ready to change myself and lose the weight once and for all. I'm 22 and recently graduated from college last year and am finally out on my own. I've started a weight loss blog because I think I just really need to be honest with myself about why I am the size I am. No more. I'm sick of it and I want to look and feel healthy. I've belonged to a gym for the past few months but have been slacking off about going. I know I need to get there more, so I am going to commit myself to getting there at least 4 days a week. I'm also thinking of joining Weight Watchers because I know I need more help than I can just give myself. The next meeting I can make is next Tuesday, so I'm going to head on over there after work and get myself signed up. So this is it, I'm going to change.

Welcome and good luck.

That's exactly how I feel. I really think I need to be honest with myself. I was sort of denying that I needed to do something drastically different to get healthier (not just lose weight, but be healthier) and that I really couldn't be that big, and I carry the weight well. Lies, all lies! lol.

good luck!

Thanks everyone! I know that I have to do it this time, I'm ready to get serious about things. I guess I just don't think of my self being as big as I am until I actually see myself in pictures (or try to buy new clothes). No more of that!

Hi there! Another Katie, neat! I'm Katie too.. and I'm 21. Good luck with your weight loss program. This forum is awesome about giving encouragement, and I'm sure you'll find so much of it here for yourself. Let us know how you're doing!
