I have been struggling with being overweight for about 10 years now. I used to be very thin but then in my 20's I gained about 60lbs. I'm 30 years old now and am determined to have the body that I once had.
I stepped on the scale on October 18, 2012 and I was horrified when I saw that I was 174lbs when I'm only 5'3. Most of the weight I gained went straight to my waist. I have a belly that hangs out of everything. I only feel comfortable wearing baggy t-shirts' and track pants. I can't find anything that fits properly. My measurements then were 42, 41, 40.
As soon as I saw 174, I decided to make some lifestyle changes. All I ever ate was fast food and crap. I would have chips and chocolate for breakfast and then eat stuff like doughnuts throughout the rest of the day. The only beverage that I ever drank was Coke. I love Coke! I never thought I would be able to stop drinking it. I would have 5-7 cans a day!
I took all of the crap food out of my diet and will only be eating healthier from now on. I have cut out coke, fast food, and junk food completely. I have started to use the treadmill, and I just decided to walk up 13 flights of stairs every day, I have done it twice now.
Anyway, since cutting out coke and crap from my diet I have lost a total of 11lbs in about 3 weeks, I am now down to 163. I would love to lose 33 more pounds.
I can't wait to get to know everyone!
