Hi! My name is Michelle. I have pretty much always been overweight. I weigh 265 and I'm very frustrated. I've been going to the gym 3 to 5 days a week for about an hour each day for 5 weeks and I've gained about 4lbs. I'm really trying to change the way I eat, but it's sooo hard. Especially since I got laid off. Now I eat because I'm bored. Anyway, I just thought I would give this a try. Maybe hearing from other women that are battling their weight will help motivate me.
Everyone have a good day.

to the community! This site is definitely motivating. A good place to start is goal and mini goal photo albums. You see all that success and you realize if they can do it, so can you.

I'll second looking at the goal and mini goal photo albums. They are wonderful!

You do know that muscle weighs more per inch than fat, right? Those could easily four pure pounds of fat burnin' hot lookin' muscle!

Welcome, welcome, this site is fantastic, I look at those goal albums all the time that I'm feeling overwhelmed or just wanting a pizza. It's wonderful to see real people doing this right before your eyes all the while you're doing it too. As you go on your journey you never know who you will then inspire in return.
