I have always been "big boned, chubby.. aka fat." But not as bad as the last 7 years since my son was born. I am 31 and weigh 259lbs. I was 265 a few weeks ago but have started slowly changing my habits and I joined Curves so I'm working out 3 times a week.. (ok usually only 2.. 1 sometimes.... but it'sa start :P) After a trip to the Dr's office and a very high cholesterol level I decided it was time to change. At that point I was hitting Dunkin Donuts EVERY day for an X LARGE coffe with EXTRA cream, and a regular bagel with cream cheese LOAD IT UP! And then my day would only get better by eating out for lunch, and that usually consisted of pizza, subs, whatever other takeout I was in the mood for... and then would end with yet another order out dinner or whatever junk I could find in the house. Basically I was killing myself. So I am now still stopping at D&D for a regular large coffe.. and that is it.. and I eat grapes or a banana with a yogurt for breakfast and I pack a nice sandwich and lowfat snack for lunch and more fruit for a snack in the afternoon and it seems to be levelling me off if nothing else. I do need to work out more I just have no energy ..which is something I have been trying to research but I am scared of taking anymore junk diet pills or energy pills. I'm hoping I can find more info about how you all get more energy in your body as I paruse the site.. wow I am rambling!! Hehe! Ok well now that you know all about me.. it's nice to meet you all and good luck on your goals.. let's do it!
to all you newbies!! It's a great place for encouragement and support.
