Hi Everyone. My name is Melissa. I'm been working hard the last 2 months and I'm already down 20lbs. The last time I tried to lose weight I lost 15lbs but then lost my work-out buddy. This time I'm doing it on my own. Not paying any attention to what anyone says unless it's positive.
Most of my life I was at a decent weight till I met my husband and that co-ensided with getting a car and drivers license and a job... and that let me to the drive though and going out to dinner nearly every day of the week. I went from 172lbs when I graduated in 2004 up to 220 by 2006 and after breaking my arm this past July I went from 250 to 260 and said enough is enough. I was no longer going to buy any new, bigger clothes. Things were feeling tight and needed to get into shape.
I'm not working out 5-6 days a week and really enjoying it. I do weight training M/W/F and cardio T/Th and Sat or Sun. My gym offers a included meeting with the director of training to set up with a plan every 4-6weeks so I think this is what I needed to succeed. It's awesome to walk into the gym and have all the trainers say Hi to you by name.
