I have struggled with being overweight most of my life.  The porblem is, I wasn't actually "overweight" till my Senior year in high school.  I was always poked at with comments like "Thunder thighgs" and stuff but when I look back at pics, I was built sporty not twiggy.  I had more muscle mass than the girls in my class but I was definitly not fat.  SO when I did satrt to pack on the weight I guess it was "comfortable" .  My words of wisdom for you, becareful what you speak, because if you speak it often, you could speak it into being!

I am now in my 30's and have a real desire to be healthy as well as look healthy, I am not about being skinny but about being healthy and fitting in clothes! I want to set a good example for my daughter about keeping what God has given us healthy and well cared for.  And that exercise is fun and maintanace for what we have not a chore and a pain.

 This site has helped me alot.  It has made me look at what I eat and how much exercise it would take to burn off what I am wanting to eat.  It made me take a look at me.
