Hi, I'm a Newbie from Oregon

  • Hi everyone,

    How's it going? Good, I hope! I've been admiring this site for quite sometime and finally became a member. Acutally, I was a member a ways back but I forgot my ID and password..lol Anyways, Let me introduce myself....

    My name is Christina and I am 23 years old. I live in Oregon with my wonderful fiance of 4 1/2 years. We're getting married in September. Only a couple months away....ahhh!! Ever since my fiance proposed to me on Christmas, I've been seriously been wanting to lose weight.

    Ever since I was in high school, I've been wanting to lose weight but kept giving up and hadn't put too much effort into it. But this time, I've actually been working on it.

    I'm 5'0 and the most that I could remember weighing was at 188 and that was sometime in Jan. Right now, I am weighing about 158. I'm pretty surprized that I lost that weight and I'm acutally proud of myself but I want to be at least 127.

    I don't know exactly how I lost the weight. Basically I've been watching what I've been eatting, cutting back a lot of my favorite foods and drinks and I've been excersizing.

    I've been slacking off the last month or so because I had been sick and I had hurt myself and now I'm trying to get back onto track. A lot of people have commented that I have lost weight, but for some reason, I don't notice any difference! I dont see any difference when I look in the mirrors.....I still feel that I'm still the same fat ugly whale...lol

    I'm so tired of being fat and I want to feel better about myself and to feel perdy in my wedding photos. lol. My fiance keeps telling me that I'm beautiful to him and thinks that I shouldn't lose weight but I want to lose the weight.

    Anyways, just wanted to give a little introduction about myself. Glad to be a member here, again...hehe...I hope to make new friends because I honestly dont' really have any. Thanks for reading
