Hi,

My name is Heather. I'm fat.
There I said it.

I want to be healthy again. I'm determined and hopeful. I will do this. 1 lb at a time.

Little bit about me. I'm 35 yrs old. I was never overweight until my freshman year of college. I can't believe how many years I wasted and that I'm just now really waking up to reality. I have made small efforts in the past but nothing very serious and I tend to keep them to myself so that when I fail, no one can judge me. Not anymore. Anyways, I love dogs and horses (although at the moment I'm mortified to ride my own horse right now due to my weight). I love to swim (swam on yr round teams in high school) and I used to participate in martial arts until I broke my foot.

Not really sure what kind of "plan" per say I'll be following so I'm going for just a healthier, common sense type of lifestyle right now.

Heather

Hi Heather,
I too am starting over today! I have been trying for years to wrap my brain around my weight problems (the problem is, I love to eat :P). Good Luck to you and I hope we find success this year.

Hi Heather. Funny, I hadnt read your post before I posed mine but we started off with the same phase: I'm fat. There, I said it.

Good luck! I know you will do it!

Too funny Bleuwater! I felt like I had to own it and face it this time. I'm not chubby, fluffy, big boned, husky, thick, etc....I'm fat. But I'm going to change that 1 freaking pound at a time!

Good luck on your journey! Good luck to all of us!

Heather

Hi everyone! I started again yesterday after yoyo-ing for the last 2 years. I know how to lose weight, I just need to set my mind on it and do it! I want/need to lose about 20 pounds and I'm determined to get there this time! Good luck to us all!

Oh yeah, I'm a zumba girl and swimmer! I zumba 3 times a week and swim 2-3 times a week. This is the first time I'm actually combining a weight loss eating plan (Atkins) with a no-kidding fitness routine; I'll let you know how it goes!!
