New Girl (one more time)

Hello, hello!

Well, I introduced myself once and then the newbie board disappeared! *grin*

So I'm going to try it again. Funny thing is that when I first posted I was just rambling away and I have no idea what I said.

so, let me try this again.

It all comes down to being the fat girl for 33 years... and I don't want to be her anymore. I've been on all the diets and know them inside and out. It isn't that I don't know *how* to loose weight, it's that I finally came to the understanding that I can not do it on my own.



I need support, moral encouragement and God willing... friends. The heavier I have become over the years the more I've withdrawn socially and it occured to me last night ( in a freaking Lane Bryant dressing room, no less ) that I have no one to talk to. So I am turning to all of you here.

Just a few moments ago I called the Curves in my area and set up an appointment to meet with the manager tomorrow after work for a free workout and to see if it is appropriate for me. Tonight after work I am going to purchase the South Beach Diet book and come up with my new plan of attack.

Thank you so much,

Lisa Lynn

Hi Nichole!

I'm so glad you came out of lurking to post.

The job you have done so far is amazing!

Being new still, I haven't met everyone yet or heard all the wonderful sucess stories, but already with you and Shawna I have found at least two ladies who are making their goals into reality. Verra encouraging.

I so look forward to hearing more from you. I would love to know more of what you think about Curves (Im a little nervous about going tonight) and about what promted you to make this huge change in your life.

As always,

Lisa Lynn
