Default Hello from IL!

Hey Everyone,

My name is Emily and I live in a small town in southern Illinois. I have always been out of shape and determined to do something about it...until it came down to actually doing something. I always come up with the perfect excuse...too tired from work, need to clean the house, pizza is just easier (HA! Thats a good one...), when I turn ___ years old, I'll do it....you know the story-the excuses go on and on and on.


About 3 1/2 years ago I met the most AMAZING man to ever come into my life. It was unexpected and slow but we are now the happiest couple in the world. In April of this year he proposed to me and We are set to get married in May of 2013.

I have finally reached a point in my life that I am tired of being tired, of feeling out of place when we go out with friends, of just disliking how I look and feel. I am serious about this weight loss for probably the first time in my life and I am looking to get support as I go.

Welcome from a fellow newbie. Kudos on the upcoming wedding. Do you watch, Say yes to the dress? I am a fan of the show even though I am not a bride.
Good luck in reaching your weight loss goals.

Welcome, Emily!! Congrats on your upcoming nuptials! I totally get where you're coming from--I'm the QUEEN of excuses. I have to mentally fight myself every single day to be active. I was hoping it'd be more second nature by now, but it isn't. But I'm still fighting the good fight and am glad you're starting yours as well. Good luck!
