Hi all! My name is Christi and I am new to this forum. I am a 32 year old divorced college student who has always been overweight. Recently I decided that enough was enough! I have done weight watchers before and lost some, but obviously gained it back. That was really "diet" that ever worked for me. I decided I would just log my food intake and count calories and so far that has worked wonderfully for me!! Yay! I also too a nutrition class at college because it is required, but I actually learned a lot and it has kept me on track during the beginning stages of my dietary changes. I have pretty much stopped eating anything white and I stopped drinking soda years ago and only drink water, or unsweet tea. I cut out most fast food and when I do have it, it is very rare and usually something like subway or a healthy option from panera. Just small changes like that. I try to make sure I eat plenty of the things my body needs and I view food as fuel now and not something indulgent that I gain pleasure from. I would rather experience pleasure from other things, like buying smaller clothes and feeling healthy. My workouts are easy for anyone to do. I do Gold's Gym Dance Workout on the Wii and I also do Wii fit sometimes. I started doing the treadmill again and was really starting to enjoy that, but it has messed up now, so I have to get that looked at. That is about the jist of things. If you have any questions or just wanna chat, holler at me! Good Luck!

Hi Christi,

From one fellow new chick to another, I just want to welcome you and wish you the absolute best of luck on your journey. You're already kicking serious butt, so kudos for your weight-loss and dedication thus far!

See you around the boards!
