Hi everyone,
So just joined the board. I was always chubby but after hitting my highest weight after living abroad on beer and cheese followed by a period of returning home depression, I started working on losing but only in fits and starts. Over the past 1.5 years, I've lost 28 pounds with a couple of bad bumps and binges on the way. Now I'm recommitting to my diet/workout plan and thought joining the board might help.
Weekends are hard especially after stressful weeks at work and that seems to be my downfall on binges. And it seems like everywhere I go, there's delicious food on TV, or being eaten by friends, so much temptation! But I want to be strong and stay on track. I'm watching calories (using LiveStrong's Daily Plate) and doing 10,000 steps a day.
I'm less than 5'1" and it sucks to be short and stout (like the little teapot I am) because even a little extra weight shows up big time and I feel like I have to be tiny tiny to look the way I want. So I just have to keep taking things one day at a time and I hope that having a good community will help.
