Oh my, It took me a good 20 minutes to figure out how to post on here!
Anyway, I thought I'd actually say hi (I've been lurking around for a few weeks, partially to scout out the 'attitude' of the site, but mostly because I couldn't figure out how to register).
So, my name's Liz, I'm 20 and pretty much ready to get in good shape.
I was always overweight. It started with genetics and continued because I was lazy. I'm ready to get down to business though, finally.
I compiled a little list as to why I'm all about the losing weight:
* Svelte is a really cool word, I like being associated with cool words
* I don't want breast reduction surgery, at this rate I'm going to need it in 10 years
* The number one thing I want is kids, I don't want to teach them that a life style like this is okay
* People think I'm loud and obnoxious to draw attention away from my weight, I want people to know that I'm actually just loud and obnoxious
* While visiting friends in TX we all go skinny dipping in the ocean, I'd like, just once, to be able to be comfortable going without being drunk
* Oh my gosh, I would probably cry if I could keep a pair of pants (including the material of the inner thigh) for more than 6 months
* I have a closet full of 1950s style dresses that I'd like to wear but can't because of my weight
* my best friend wants to be a cop, he can't walk a mile period, let alone run the 1.5 in 17 minutes required by Idaho, maybe I'll inspire him.
* I've been
fat, I've done it, it's time to try a new adventure.
In reality I probably have a million more reasons, but that's the gist of it. You guys seem really supportive and I look forward to sharing my journey with you all and supporting you on yours.
