Hi all. Well today is my first official day here. I started this journey last night at the gym. I walked, very briskly, for 55 minutes (approx 600 cal per treadmill). I am currently the heaviest i have ever been in my life. Here is my story...

Job & Relationship is what i blame on this weight gain. The job is overly stressing and when i get stressed and overwhelmed.. i fry chicken, lol. Its my goto comfort food! Yummm, fried chicken :-) My 3+ year relationship also has me in a rut. I am now (or was before yesterday) cooking big dinners every night so we'd have enough to eat for dinner and for me to bring to lunch the next day. I did not cook or eat like that before the relationship. Additionally, i have become lazy and a homebody all in an effort to keep the significant other happy. This has made me a couch potato and all i do when i get home is eat and sleep. Well, all of that changes today! I cant fit any of my clothes.. and I AM NOT buying a new wardrobe.

I hope that by being here, this will keep me motivated. Ive read many posts and i think im going to like being a part of this community.

Heres to reaching your goals!
