My Name is Rebecca & I'm pretty easy going about anything & everything - always have a smile on my face and try to always be happy -even when I'm having a really bad day!
I have been slightly overweight my whole life- I was the preteen/teen that ate as healthy as I could & watched my portion sizes with the sisters who ate anything they wanted & still wore size 4 & 6's.
I started to basically starve myself my senior year of high school & still only managed to get down to 160 lbs & a size 10/12. Once I got married & started having kids is when I really started to just let myself go. I just stopped caring about my weight until October 2005 when we took a big family vacation to Disney World & couldn't fit on some of the rides..I was 270 lbs & a size 20/22.
I was tired of being the 'cute fat chick'.Then my BFF, Amie, asked me to be her Matron of Honor in her wedding & the dress I had to wear was candy apple red. I had 5 months to lose whatever I could. So for the first time ever, I joined a gym. And worked out. Everyday. By June 2006 I was down to 229 lbs & a size 16.
By December 2006 I was 210 pounds & a size 14. Then some crazy suff happened in my life & I kinda fell off the wagon so to speak, stopped working out, stopped eating right & stopped caring. The result- by April 2009, I was back up to 229 again!
I had to really refocus, reprioritize my life & get myself on the right tract in every aspest of my life - I could NOT let myself go & gain all that weight back that I tried so hard to get off!
So I buckled down & started going back to the gym & watching everything I put in my mouth.... I'm now a size 10 but would like to be a size 8 at whatever weight gets me there..My wonderful trainer has encouraged me to throw out my scale (which I won't)& focus only on size & not weight because muscle weighs more then fat & I'll always weigh more but I would still like to get down to 165/170
I am also so excited to be taking A NUTRITION Class in Sept.

7 NEW RULES for the Gym
Haha- these are all so entertaining to read when I need a good laugh- all of course are true.... although I am a guilty party of the lip syncing as well as talking to my workout partner nonstop.... Smile

I may even be one of those annoying chicks always laughing and having a good time... cause lets face it, working out is NOT fun. and being able to HAVE fun and laugh and joke while sweating my butt off makes it tolerable. lol talking through sweat and gasping always makes for interesting conversation- When Im alone, its all out cardio to my fav jams.... I have to add that my biggest gym pet peeve is people that talk while barely working out... multitask people! its not that hard! lol

Bathing Suits- Is it a joke?!?!?!
Thanks for the advice guys!!
I seriously to date have tried on about 68 bathing suits within the last 3 weeks.... and that included suits in Macey's, Jc penny's, Sears, Debs, Marshalls,Targt, Walmart and God only knows what other little stores...> those tummy control ones are great... for the front, but not for the back! they come up to high and kinda tuck everything round I have found Sad

and its my boobs that are a huge problem too! I checked online stores but the whole boob thing and waiting to get it to try on..... Well I know what kinds DONT work and need to be avoided lol at all costs... and I know what you mean about the tankini's, underscore! I used to be a 20/22 at my biggest and had to wear the one pieces then because nothing is ever long enough to cover my stomach! Try Marshalls or Deb Smile

they had some really awesome ones in that size! Smile

Now I think the problem with them are my chest pulls it up further so they dont work.... I DID FIND 3 today that I reallllllyyyy liked at a different Marshalls in a different town- I bought 2 and a wrap for $55- Both that I bought were tankini's... they have ones that are much longer with little strings on the sides that really works well to hide problem areas and the bottom comes up to the belly button and has the cutest little skirt that is just long enough to cover the tops of the legs but short enough to look really cute Smile

the other one had underwires!!!! Smile

and fit my chest PERFECT!! I did go a size bigger in the top for the bigger cup size but the bottoms come with the cutest little belt that matches the top... so cute lol the 1 piece was awesome too BUT a little small in the bust and one tiny little string to hold it up... not a SWIM suit Smile

I simply cannot believe how hard it is to find a flattering, attractive bating suit in a size 10! Seriously!!!! I NEVER had this problem when I was fat!!! You can ind ANY kind in a size 14 & up... and type too that is more flattering but try finding something in a 10 that doesnt leave SOMETHING hanging out is ridiculous! A tanki is supposed to hide stuff... not still show your stomach and all your flaws... and a 1 piece.. what a joke! A size 10 person cant have more then a B cup??? I don't wanna flash and scare people on the beach or by the pool!! I just wanna be able to swim without worrying that somethings going to pop out at any second! I can't believe that I lost all this weight and could finally look hot in a bathing suit and I can't find one..... Sad
