Getting off the Struggle Bus

  • Hi all!

    Hope you guys are having a great day!

    My name's Kate and I've been struggling with my weight since I was in college. A few years ago I did lose 30 pounds, but fell off the bandwagon with an entire German chocolate cake. I never really got back on the right path --saying I've already had a bad day, so why not a bad week? That bad week turned into months and now, three years later, here I am. I'm now heavier than I've ever been.

    My size really hit me when I was trying on bridesmaid's dresses. I'm the *only* bridesmaid who has a double digit dress size.

    So I've decided to do something about it and am getting off this struggle bus!

    I'm excited to meet you guys!
  • Hi Kate,
    Nice to meet you. I'm new too. I am tired of just complaining about my weight. I am motivated to lose some weight. Very excited to find this board

    Yes! Best of luck to you both.
  • I'll always put it off too, thinking tomorrow or next week, then you realize how much time has been wasted. I'm ready to start this journey
  • Kate! Can I keep you?
    Your numbers and goals hit me right in the feels! (Aanndddd they're practically identical, so, there's that!) I would really like an active motivation in my life, and if we could conquer this monster at a similar rate, how perfect would that be!

    can't wait to take this journey side-by-side and miles apart! let's geeetttt itttt!
