big woman's journey....

[bigwoman1]

I guess this will be my space to document my progress and weight loss.

I am starting today. I am not sure what my routine is going to be. I am still working out the fine details of how exactly I am going to change ME! All I know right now is I need to lose 100 lbs.

My body description is a pinhead on a huge body. I currently weigh 230 lbs. It is going to be difficult but I am taking charge.

This month I am going to buy a home gym. I have told my husband of my plans and just pats me on the arm or the shoulder. He says he loves me "like I am". That just infuriates me to no end. But I don't say anything.

I used to be slender but I have never been in shape. I am 50 and by age 51 I want to be in the best shape of my life. It will be 52 weeks before I turn 51. This next 12 months I am devoting myself to myself and my health before it is too late.

I have browsed this site before and there are many beautiful and highly motivated people here. I am hoping some of that rubs off on me.

Until a couple weeks ago I had severe pitting edema in my legs but that has all went away. I believe the reason it undissipated was due to the job change I recently had. I have had a 'sit down' job for years. I recently took a job change that requires some walking. I love it and my energy level has already increased.

Sincerely,
bigwoman1
