3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello everyone! I am here to say goodbye to the old me. I am tired of being fat. Tired of nothing fitting right. Tired of getting winded just walking up a flight of stairs. Most of all, tired of not feeling sexy anymore! So here I am. I started drinking more water and making better food choices 3 days ago. That same day I dug out my treadmill, dusted it off (literally), and about died after walking only 1/4 mile. I've kept at it and have lost a little over 2 pounds. I've always heard that the first few pounds are the easiest because of water weight, but I don't care...I'm excited! I ordered a WATP dvd off netflix because I've heard so many good things about it. I popped it in this morning, and at first thought I was wasting my time. Until about 10 minutes later when I was sweating like a pig. I did finish a 2 mile workout so YAY me! Now my legs are sore and I love it. Feels like I'm actually getting somewhere this time.

Now for the dirty part. I stepped on a scale for the first time in almost 3 years 3 days ago and about fainted. I mean, I know I'm fat, I just couldn't believe how much I had let myself go. I wanted to cry when it read 284.4 :( But I'm here and I'm ready to change! My ultimate goal is to get back to a size 12/14 (currently 22/24).

Little bit about me....I'm 28 and married to my highschool sweetheart. We have 3 kiddos and just moved to Louisiana from Texas due to his job. I stay at home with the kids and homeschool my oldest.
