hello Everyone
I am tiff. I am 28 and I need to lose about 100 pounds give or take. reason being is I am too scared to get on a scale and see what I need to lose. I have been using tape measures and this seems about right.
My turning point was yesterday when I went shopping for a gift for my mom. I was in a department store and seen myself in the full legnth mirror and I think I wanted to crawl into the floor. I looked, unrecognizable., This is not me, here was this large woman standing there, with a big shirt on and shorts, with a stomach that makes me look pregnant. I mean I know I was over weight, but seeing myself standing in a store surrounded with clothes I would love to wear was my defining moment.
I began that moment, took a long walk yesterday and I want to continue to do something active each day. It might be a slow start, I am severely out of shape. but I am willing to do what it takes to get to that better body I want so bad.

It's great to see so many new faces! I'm glad that you've come to join us. The women here are really great and know what you're going through. I relate to the mirror issue. Mirrors are not my friend at this point in time...let me tell ya! lol. Congrats on the walk and the willpower! Don't ever give up, you have the right to have the body that you want! I hope you find this board to be just what you need for support.
Great to have you,
Critter
