My name is Bethany, I am 22 years old. I am 5'1 (ish) and I weigh probably around 230 (UGH!) pounds. I HATE THIS! My weight has always been a problem. As long as I can remember I have always been FAT (scratch that - until I was about 10 I wa. Even when I played sports as a kid I was still bigger... Nothing ever seems to take the weight off. I eat mostly healthy food, and I don't eat too much. I exercise as often as I can but I never seem to lose anything! My weight keeps creeping up and it sucks! I can't really afford a gym membership or personal trainer or anything, so I am left to do this all on my own. I need help and support because I want to drop all the weight! Ideally I'd like to be a "healthy" weight for my height, but for now I'd like to just focus on getting down to 175!
I married my husband when he was in the Marine Corps, and he also has weight problems. We have 2 children (ages 20 months and 5 months). I want them to have a healthy Momma! Since having my second child, I have put on probably around 20 pounds... I lost all the baby weight plus some... just to gain the some back and more!! I NEED help! I work as a call center representative so my activity at work is limited to tapping my toes at the desk and climbing flights of stairs before work, during breaks, and after work. When I get home I clean the house and take care of my girls. By the time all that is done its time for bed!! Since I still have a 5 month old, she wakes up several times a night, so I am always too tired to get up in the mornings to work out. I know I am making excuses for myself and it needs to stop, but it is so hard not to when I am so tired all the time!
Other than losing the weight for my family and myself, my dream is to join the Navy - I know that goal is quite a bit out of reach right now, but I really, really want this! I just need help getting there!
Does anyone have any suggestions for me??
to 3FC!
