Hi I am New here - 3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

TiffanyinMass · 07-18-2006, 09:31 AM

Hi everyone I am Tiffany. I am new to the board. I am not new to weight loss. I have been on the roller coaster for a long time. I am here in hopes to find support, make new friends and also give support in return. I have a membership to the y and also have a treadmill here at home. I never make it to the y because I am always to "BUSY" . The treadmill I bought because I thought I would use it if it was here. Well I seem to still be "BUSY" .. I did get on it today for 20 mins. I try and push myself when I am on it.. 30 mins or 1 mile! Today I set the goal for 20 and I was comfortable with it. Maybe later I will climb back on for 20 more... I also have a pool that I love to get in.. My eating has been horrible the last few months. I am not happy with it at all. I am trying to do better. The problem is I like everything

I am not a picky eater. Today I am feeling kind of blah and tired even though I climbed on the dreadmill

Yes I find it boring but I need to move! I am looking down at almost 300 pounds. As I sit here typing and thinking I know I can not continue with my weight. It has stopped me from doing so many things out of fear I will not FIT! I size up resteraunts before I go into them to make sure I will be able to sit without comeplete embrassment. Little things like that. I am not sure of a goal weight at this time, I am going to take it one step at a time. Anyway, I have gone on enough. I will be posting often I am sure.. Thanks for letting me ramble..

Welcome Tiffany!!! I too, have a lot of weight to lose, I am currently working on walking, and eating smaller portions, and DRINKING LOADS of water!! I think the water helps, it keeps me feeling full, and it of course doesn't stick with me. I am walking 3 miles every day ( no break for me, no rest for the wicked they say...) and trying to stay motivated. I have been doing this almost 3 weeks. Hope you find this whole site incredibly helpful and supportive, I have many good vibes going on here! Keep on keeping on!!!!
