Cool Just another Fat Chick on a diet!

Hi everyone! I'm brand new to the whole forum thing, but I am already really excited about joining this site. I was originally attracted because I was doing some research on Chalean Extreme, and the forum had a lot of helpful info on it.

I'm in my early 20's and I live in South Florida. I've been dieting for what feels like forever, and I'm ready to make a change! I'm currently reading Naturally Thin by Bethenny Frankel, and it's helping me change the way I look at food. I'm also into Cook Yourself Thin. If you know of threads that are discussing either of these topics, please let me know!

In the past I've done Weight Watchers, LA Weightloss, Atkins, Sugar Busters, South Beach, and 6 week Body Makeover. I have tons of videos, including Turbo Jam, Slim in 6, 10 minute Trainer, Core Rhythms, and my first ever work out video I got when I was 12 years old, Dance Workout with Barbie. I also went through a really big Belly Dancing kick.

Right now I'm practicing Iyengar Yoga, which I love. I'm glad to join you all here in the forum, and I look forward to dropping pounds with all of you!

Thanks so much! I started yoga in February... i was definitely dragged there... but now I'm addicted. I'm trying to figure out how to do a home practice, because I want to do it more than once a week. I just got Iyengar's Light on Yoga, but that book will take me a few years to read through. I look forward to posting with you!

Yes, I adore Cook Yourself Thin. I bought the cook book, but all of the recipes are the same ones on the show, and I think by the end of the season they may go through all of them. I made the buffalo chicken salad, and it was so yummy. Even my boyfriend and brother liked it. I think they have alot of their recipes on their website, so you could get started there!

Thank you for the welcome! I'm learning my way around, and I've already got myself settled in the Chalean Extreme forum. I start tomorrow! It's so nice to have all of this inspiration and weightloss around for motivation!
