Hi ladies, my name is Beverly. This is my first day here. I found the site when I did a search for "is almond milk fattening." I feel I need some support. I've always been self-motivated, but it's been hard the past few years and I've gained
weigh more (pun intended) then I ever thought I would. I just sent my son off to college. I'm a single mom and now it's me-time.
I somehow gained 50 lbs over the years, but the past 2-3 put me where I never thought I would be. I've joined an amazing gym in my area. I've been steadily working out since Oct 1. Did have to take a break when I went to visit my son but got right back into it.
I've done many diets that have worked--Atkins works but I always ended up gaining more weight. 6 week body makeover by Michael Thurmond is the best for me by far. My brother is here, and he loves to cook (just like I do) so it's been hard with the food because he's skinny and can eat anything. But maybe it's just time for a challenge. I like that. It motivates me.
Valentines Day, and that is just 3 days before my birthday! That would be the perfect birthday present to myself, a new me. I say yeah, I'm ready. I"m really ready to get this weight off of me and get back into my single digit dresses again.
Right now I'm wearing 12 on top 14 on the bottom. I'm 199 lbs (i don't usually weigh myself), I just go in my closet and try on clothes. My goal is 138 lbs. I'm not sure if that's going to be literal because I have muscle but whether or not it is, that's the weight I'd like to get back to or a size 8, whichever comes first.
I don't know if I can do that by Valentine's, but I will set a goal for that after I think about that for a little bit.
Question! Where do you get the little goal bar from that shows the starting point.
Nice to meet all the ladies in the challenge.
