I am new to this site, but not new to dieting or trying to present a "skinny pose" when having those dreaded photos taken. Standing sideways is always my go-to move. But, alas, it has become more and more difficult for me to hide my weight any longer. The only one who seemed oblivious to it me. I didn't want to believe I was really that heavy. It was just a whole lot of bad lighting!

My daughter bought P90X, and having once been somewhat athletic, I decided to borrow it and give it a try. I am on day 3 - YIKES - it is intense. But with every ache I feel, I visualize a fat cell shrinking. I am trying to follow a low carb diet and avoiding anything processed.

Last month, I woke up fat and 40. I am determined to work my way into being fit, 40 and fabulous! I am open to any an all advice anyone can send me to help me in this journey.

WOW! Love that "I am determined to work my way into being fit, 40 and fabulous"
I am 41 and determined to do the same.
Best of luck to you!
