Hi, I'm Corrina. I'm new (ISH) to the board. : ) (Lurked a lot, posted a few times a few years ago.) I've resisted the desire to lose weight for a long time, for a lot of reasons--one is maybe kinda funny-I hate how society says a woman has to be thin to be valued. People shouldn't be judged, loved, or appreciated according to their weight or jean size. That said, I want to live and I don't want to hurt my health or longevity by packing on weight/carrying excess. So I'm going to try to eat to live (Yeah, yeah the old cliche, NOT LIVE TO EAT... anybody here a TOPS member? :) exercise and lose weight, and strive to be true to myself at the same time. I'm so tired of women hating themselves because of their bodies. And I got tired of being that woman... Let's work on loving ourselves, respecting ourselves and know that health and weightloss will follow.
I'm 5'5 and weigh 265. I used to healthily maintain 145lbs... so that's my tenative goal... but I just want to get under 200 and then I'll re-evaluate.
Here's to us in 2005!!!!!!!!!!!

p.s. In case anyone thought/thinks I was preachy, I didn't mean to be. I chose this board because I think you all have such great attitudes, motives for weightloss. You're very inspiring!

Thanks for the warm welcome, Pickle puss.
I hope to be here lots, every other day or so, to keep me on track and to help other people too.
See you on the boards!

Hey Corrina! I come here most every day....usually at night....sometimes during my break times at work. I love this board. The people here are so nice.
You can come and play any time you want!
