Hello Everyone!
This looks like a really awesome forum so far, I can't wait to get in on the action
I started my journey officially on Jan 6th. I have never felt so motivated. I realize that it's always really hard to change your diet, but if your head isn't in it 100%, your diets will fail. Which is where I have been for the last 5 years.
I'm 39, 207 (5'3,4ish) as of this morning and I have lost 13 pounds since the beginning of this year with strict calorie counting and consistent exercise. I used to be one of those that exercised all the time and ate what I wanted and never lost weight. I finally figured it out that I had to cut calories and eat the right things, end of story, bottom line etc etc! At the gym I recently joined a fitness challenge, much like the Biggest loser (10 weeks starting Jan 30th). and I believe I WILL WIN! or at least top 3, if anyone else joins.. haha.
I really look forward to motivating and supporting others as I also get inspiration, motivation and support from all of you
Good luck to us all!
