Finally

So i fell off the wagon back in January and got up to about 280 lbs. In april i started a new program and i have lost 35 lbs so far. I drink only water,  no sugar, if i do eat carbs i only eat multi grains. I excercise about everyday. Ive been doing this for 11 weeks now. And have lost 35 lbs in 11 weeks so im happy :)…i hope all my friends are doing great on there weight loss journeys it just took me a bit to get started ….

Weigh in tomorrow

Well tomorrow is my first weigh in…cant say  im to thrilled lol…ive been doing pretty good on weight watchers but this weekend kind of went up in flames…Saturday i was gone on the go all day and i tried to really watch what i ate and got a salad instead of fries with my sandwich.so i at least tried lol..then sunday i had a bridal shower that i had to help my mom with so of course there was great food …i didnt pig out but didnt do great either..so im nervous about my weigh in tomorrow…so will see what happens…:(

I hope all my friends are doing great and have a great week…i hope to be on more later this week just been super busy with work etc….

Cold…

I hope everyone is staying warm this cold weather is ridiculous…I havent been able to get on much this week been super busy.. I’ve been doing pretty good on the weight watchers diet. But as far as excercising i really  havent been able to this week. With the bad weather etc…But i plan on it next week for sure . Tomorrow im going to a BBW party (big beautiful women) which will be a blast ive met some great friends at these parties that turned into being my best friends. Everyone is very accepting and just a great enviroment. I will be drinking but am going to drink as light as possible if thats possible?? I think im going to drink amaretto with crystal light…its actually pretty good so going to try to stick to that… I plan on doing my weigh in on Tuesday when i go to weight watchers.

I hope you all are having a fabulous week :) 

Weight Watchers

So i went and joined weight watchers tonight so now i at least have a diet plan to follow and its really easy to keep track of an follow… ive done it before and it i liked it. The past two days werent great but wouldnt say they were bad so i say i officially start my diet tomorrow since i havent really followed anything. And i didnt go to the gym :( buttttt i am going tomorrow with a workout buddy and will go the rest of the week and get my 3 days in at least. So i wont beat myself up over it …

Thanks everyone and have a great week :) 

Excited for my new way of living healthy

So tomorrow is the official day i start my new  life which is eating healthy and excercising. I go to weight watchers on Tuesday  and im going to start working out tomorrow at the gym i joined. My goals for tomorrow is to drink at least 8 glasses of water which is a big thing for me. I rarely drink water at the moment i drink maybe 1 glass a day if that. Im cutting soda out of my diet totally. My goal at the gym is to walk at least a mile then lift weights after that. Tomorrow i will just watch what i eat watch my calories and fat intake. Since i dont actually go to weight watchers till tuesday i cant really follow that diet like i need to till i go and get informed on it.

Honestly i have never been excited about dieting and excercising but i am actually so excited right now to start this. I have soooooo much motivation and alot of support and i know i can do it. This site is amazing ive read so many successful stories and it really gives you hope. Im also doing this with two of my best friends and we will be supporting each other. 

Thank you everyone  for all your words of support… 

My new journey

My name is Joanna i am 31 years old i have been overweight my entire life. Have yo yo dieted taken diet pills, done every diet possible the past 8 years.  Back in 2004 i lost 100 lbs and have since gained about 70 of that back. Which is one of the most disappointing things i have done in my life to work so hard for something and then not care could kick myself for it. Around 2001 i found the BBW community online and everyone was so accepting i just tried to accept myself for the way i was even tho i was never truly happy about myself. Ive met so many wonderful people in the BBW community Me and two of my best friends started a BBW group that has parties every month and get together hangout and have a great time. We are now going on a BBW cruise in September that has been my motivation that and just tired of not being happy with myself i want to go to the bahamas and feel comfortable in a swimsuit and be healthy and happy.

 I am going to my first weight watchers meeting this coming Tuesday so im joining that , ive joined a gym and im ready its going to be a long hard road but i am confident i am going to do this. I would love to meet some new friends for support, advice and if i could meet someone local to workout with that would be great.
