Ever since I moved here 4 years ago, I've gained almost 40 lbs. In December, I was a bridesmaid at my uncle's wedding and I couldn't even recognize myself in the pictures. I broke down and cried and vowed that before I turned 25, I would be a healthier me.
I don't really know what I am going to do diet-wise. I am just planning on eating more veggies, fruits, and whole grains. I'm trying to learn to cook so I could plan my meals better instead of going out for fast food after work. So if anyone could lead me to some healthy recipes I'd appreciate it.
When it comes to fitness, I've always been a runner. I'm also borrowing a beach body workout (slim in 6) from a friend of mine to get me resistance training. So far I've only been doing the si6 and i can already feel my ab / tricep muscles again. And my butt is getting firmer.
I'm hoping to get motivation, tips, and support from everyone here. Thanks!
This is a great community! I'm sure you'll do great!
