I am ready to be healthy

  • I just got on the scale, and saw those numbers and wanted to cry. I wish I was all excited like this dancing carrot seems to be! Dudes. I need to lose ALOT of weight. I am 5 feet tall. I weigh 197 pounds. and I just turned 44.
    I have not been going anywhere in fear of running into anyone that I might know that I haven't seen in a while. Being fat is embarrassing and I want to hide from the world- The time is going to pass whether I am on a diet or not- SO I figure..........I better get to dancing like this carrot !!!

    I am jumping on the Weight Watchers bandwagon at home- I'll use one of my 3 sliders I have collected all the times I've joined WW. I think I would like to stick to a lower carb version of WW tho. As Im getting older, UGH- Im having a harder time losing- seems like the pounds would melt right off in my 30's
    Oh well, SO here I go again - I cant wait til next Thursday to be able to fill in the 2nd spot of my stats! My Goal is 3 pounds
    I so want this time to work, I miss life


  • You will get there this time. 1) I can see that desire in you to achieve, and 2) you have us here. Have a look on the forums if you need some help with your low-carb diet. You may get some recipe ideas from the Atkins diet or the Calorie counting section.

  • Well here I go.... The pounds have crept on and now that my wardrobe selection is down to a handful of items that just about fit, it is time to make some changes. After all, I have some gorgeous clothes hiding in the back of the wardrobe if I could just rediscover the gorgeous body underneath my excess pounds.

    Bit by bit, I will get there.........
  • Hi anewmaria glad you joined the group! I can relate to you about wanting your life back. I remember when I was at my lowest I was always with nice clothes and very outgoing because I had the confidence with my body. Now I dont want to go out in fear of being asked if im pregnant please dont wait until next thursday to come and check in. Although i do hope you log in on thrs wit a great result of this week.
  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
