Newbie Greeting
 

When my husband uploaded his photos from our beach vacation to the computer I looked at the fat girl in the pictures and could not believe it was me. When I weighed myself, sure enough I was just 0.4 pounds shy of 170. At 5'1" - this is a problem.

Somehow I have managed to gain neary 30 pounds in the past 3 years from a combination of returning to school and working as a nurse. I had a nice bit of loss a year and a half ago where I was taking care of my diet and doing yoga and Tae Bo nearly every day. When the scale read 148 I was convinced I would not be over 150 again. I fell out of the good habits and into a bag of chips . . . and frozen custard . . . and wine and butter sauce, you get the picture.

So I am trying to slowly wean myself off the bad habits and into the good ones. I started the Fat Smash Diet yesterday since it seemed like a good way to detox off the sugar and red meat I have been pigging out on lately. I also know that forum support it a good motivation to stay on track, but I did not want to join one that focused just on one type of exercise or diet.

So here I am at 3FC - I turn 30 in 6 months and I want to look and feel great for this milestone. Wish me luck!

Good luck and :welcome2:

Good luck and welcome. I remember the picture that made me start too!

Welcome! So often its a picture that gets us started...and think about how wonderful it'll be when you look back at that picture and revel in the new photos you'll have then!

Can't wait to hear more from you!
