3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - So scared to fail but so ready to go for it

Hi guys,

Here I go again...I feel like I've been on this journey for the past 3 years, spinning my wheels. I've been trying to lose these last, nagging 15 pounds for the last two years but I haven't given it my all. I always seem to be just a little too bored to stick with my diet or too tired to really hit the gym or to give a workout 100%.

I've already lost around 50 pounds so my body is fighting for this last bit of fat and in order to do this I'll really have to give it a firm commitment. I'm committing to running 6 days a week, for at least 30 minutes a day for the first week, and then increasing my time by five minutes each following week. I already walk 5 miles a day, 7 days a week, but that's just not challenging enough for my body anymore and I need to get my heart rate up. I'm also going to cut refined sugars, and white bread.

I think that this message board will really help a lot, it'll be nice to have people to talk about this stuff with. All of my friends, and I do mean ALL, are waifs, and while I don't want to go that far they just don't get what it's like to be on a new fitness program because they want to lose weight.

I'm currently 182, and my goal is 167. After losing 50 pounds, I was very content to stay in the "chubby" box (big improvement from being in the "fat" box!!!) but now I want to be thin. Not scrawny, not waiffish, but slender. For the first time in my life. It's scary but I think I can do this and I'm really excited to try. I look forward to "meeting" you guys and cheering you on as well!
