Hi all! I just found this site today and I have to say I LOVE IT! I'm not new to dieting, I think I've done it since I was about 16...I'm now 28. If you've done your math, you're probably thinking geez - after 12 years, you'd think she'd have it mastered! Let's just say I'm a slow learner! LOL
So my goal weight is 160 - although I can't even remember the last time I was that weight! When I went in to have my first child 3 years ago, I was 228. I've since had another child. I stepped on the scale this morning and weighed in at 217. That's pretty discouraging. 2 weeks ago, I gave up the evil soda known as Mountain Dew. I was up to about 3 LITERS of it a day. I haven't completely kicked the habit, but I'm down to about 20 oz. a week. I'm proud of that, but I really banked on kicking soda and having the pounds melt off. Imagine my disappointment after week 2!
I've set up a blog here that I intend to faithfully post to. It's got my weight loss plan on it, although I will tell you right up front, I'm not a big believer in dieting. I just plain need to CHANGE my eating habits. No more late night MEALS (yeah - you couldn't pass my "snacks" off as snacks if you wanted to) and EXERCISE! Since I became a Domestic Goddess, I've also become LAZY.
So - I'm interested in finding a few friends...a good support group. My goal is not only weight loss, but POSITIVITY! While I'm at it, I think I'm going to make it a goal to LOSE the CAPS LOCK KEY. LOL
I'm FAT?!
. . . So glad you found us . . . 
Never think badly of yourself, Chickie . . . you are trying to travel down the long and sometimes rather bumpy road to better health and fitness just like the rest of us.
I am glad that you found this site! I am recently new as well. But its became another of my addictions! Its a wonderful place where people are friendly and helpful and funny too! I understand 100000000% about you being at home and being what you called "lazy" I am at home daily I work from the computer so my fatarse sits for atleast 12hrs a day m-thurs doing the same ole routine. I kicked soda's a long time ago so I feel you on that. I will still have the occasional sprite and very very rare barq's rootbeer but I've not even had those in over a month now. Nothing but water and 2 small glasses of juice in the last month! Look around the site though I am sure you will find tons of good things to read that will not only help you but also entertain you!
