Hello everyone! My name is Regina. I was referred to this site by a friend. When I looked at it, I was impressed. And very excited to find something that could be a support for me in this brand new journey.

Recently, I've been doing alot of thinking. I'm really overweight. I have been my whole life. I was always the chubby kid in school. But now, as I've just hit 21 years old, I've come to realize some things. I have realized that if I don't lose weight soon I'll be opening myself to many serious health risks.

I'm a person that loves to travel and see new things. I'm the type of person that wants to go out and do things all the time, no matter where I am or who I'm with. But being overweight is a burden in that aspect. I'm not capable of doing the things that I truly want to do or see. And I'll be honest, that just down right sucks!! Haha.

So....
I have came to the decision that it is now or never. I will put healthy food and drinks into my body. I will excercise so I can be strong. I will not use my weight for an excuse anymore.

I've come to this site so I could receive support from women who know exactly what I'm going through. And through the process I hope that I am able to help anyone who needs it.

Thanks!

Way to go Regina! WE CAN TOTALLY DO THIS!!!!

Thank you for your honesty and commitment, Regina. I, too, have been using excuses for not doing the things I want to do. My excuse has been my ankle injury as a reason for not losing weight. We must face our true selves!

REGINA . . . so glad you found us.
