New Chunky Muffin :)
 

Hi, I've lurked here off and on but decided to register today :)

I have about 100 pounds to lose (gulp). I'm only about 5'4" almost and weighed in at 240 last Friday morning. I quite smoking 4 years ago and the weight has been creeping steadily up since then.

I am eating about 1200 calories a day with one day a week to "blow" meaning have pizza or hot wings, etc., I have decided Sundays can be that day since I go to church and socialize a lot on Sundays with a lot of exposure to fatty food :)

My friends son was playing with my Droid a few weeks ago and took a pic of me on it from the side. I came across it last Thursday and didn't recognize the fat lady with all the back fat rolls :( So that was it! This week has been good, I did have 1700 cals on Sunday (church Christmas dinner!!) but not bad. I weigh every Friday so tomorrow I will see the result of a week of healthy eating. Yikes! :carrot: <--- just thought it was funny

Welcome and good luck on your weight loss journey!!!!

Great job on quitting smoking! You sound pretty dedicated to YOU.
We are happy to have you here. Good luck with all your goals.

Welcome!

My one piece of advice- give yourself a weekly cheat meal, not a weekly cheat day. It's easier to recover from.

This forum is full of helpful people, I hope you enjoy it.

Welcome to the site :)

Hi Fassopony! I'm new too but excited to see results. Maybe a bit impatient but slow and steady wins the race. I'm shorter than you and boy is it hard to buy clothes! Can't wait til I can buy cute things to wear, hopefully our summer wardrobes will be a lot smaller!
