very new to this all

[ab_chic25]

Hey there I came across this site and read sone post before signing up. Must say there is some great help on here, better then other fourms I have found.

I am a 25yr, female, 5'9.5, and at the moment weight 205lbs. I am trying to lose about 50lbs or so more, so far this past year I am down a total of 65lbs. Very new to all this and dont think much would have changed for me if my dad didnt get sick. Wondering if any1 is from Edmonton???? and if so where do you work out, I go to spalady due to self issues.

Congratulations on your weight loss. 65lbs is very impressive.... You go girl!!

Welcome aboard.

It was my Dad's health that got me to take working out much more seriously. I dropped about 50lbs of fat over a year and then 4 months ago I started lifting weights.

I found that knowing I was working on improving always helped with my body image.

Thanks for all the welcomes and compliments. I am hoping to meet my next goal for the 5 of Dec. I am hoping to be under 200lbs by then. Only a few pounds to go. OH I dont have a problem working out in co-ed gyms, I just have a problem with thinking people are staring at my "fat" butt working out. lol. I will work hard at getting over this as I am starting to get bored at my gym.



Thanks again for all the good replys

Welcome to the board and I know that with enough hard work and self discipline anyone can do it. You just have to believe in your self.
