Hi everyone! I'm new here, and in truth, to dieting at all. I've always been blissfully unaware of how my body actually looked, because outside of myself, my fiance is the only one to see me naked in the past 15 years. I don't wear bathing suits often, so I never really had to confront how my body looked. Besides that, I had managed to convince myself I didn't care.

What changed, you ask? I went wedding dress shopping. There is no wake up call to the way your body looks stronger than a absurdly beautiful woman all up in your goodies, trying to fit you into the size dress you 'look like you should be able to fit into'. Ridiculous.

I decided that I need to do something. Not anything drastic, I don't want to fit into a size 0 (does anyone actually know a real person that wears a size 0 after they turn 16? For real, people), I just want to tone and feel as confident in myself as I did when I was 17 and falling in love.

So I'm drinking water and eating better foods. I decided I need a support system to help me through this. I have a wedding community, a military girlfriends community, why not a 'get my sexy back' community?

Sorry this was so long, and congratulations if you made it this far. I look forward to getting involved on this site and getting to know you better! See you around!

You had me crackin' up while I was reading your story......your goodies...that was funny....

anyways....I'm glad your here! Sounds like you would really like the "chicks up for a challenge" section...I bet you would like to participate and recieve the support from all the people in the various challenges...they are fun and motivating!

Good luck!

Hello 88MWifey

I suggest the chicks up for a challenge section AND focusing on weights and whatnot. The book ' the new rules of lifting for women' is awesome!!
