Hi- I'm Lacey and just came across this site after searching for some weight loss ideas. I'm in a "funk" and just can't seem to motivate myself to get off the couch to exercise and lose weight. I feel like I'm educated in the realm of health and weight loss, but I just can't get myself to do what my mind already knows.
In my teens and early 20s, I thought I was fat at 130 lbs (man, if I could only go back!), but was atleast healthy and active throughout college. Then, I met my man, who is now my husband. The weight slowly went up. We were married 5 years ago, and I was 150 lbs. My pregnancy was trying, to say the least. I was on bedrest for 5 1/2 months and gained 80 pounds. After 3 years of having my weight fluctuating from 185 (low) to 240 (high) and everything in between, I need to do something because my health is taking a beating. I'm pre-diabetic, have high cholestoral, my joints ache like there's no tomorrow, and my smile has faded fast. I need help! I'm hoping that this site will offer some support in this. We'll see...
Hey Lacey I'm pre-diabetic too...was diagnosed with insulin resistance and P.C.O.S. last year. You're the only other person I've heard besides my coworker say that they ached all over too. I thought I was just heavy but ever since I've cut out the sugars and started watching what kind of carbs I eat it's gotten alot better. I've even had some pain free days in there. Anyway I think you'll find alot of support here, I really love this forum. Glad you're here and welcome.
Welcome, I'm new myself. I know well the funk you are in but have found that if I spend more time reading up on healthy lifestyle modifications and why they're so important compared to that in front of the t.v. with some chips, the more I am both motivated and inspired.
You're joining the site is one step in many to get you going, so you're on the right track. I have made a few and read many, many posts since I've joined. There is a lot of information here and some very helpful and nice people.
Congrats on your desire to be healthy (I'm patting myself on the back, too). I'll be cheering you on!
