Hello all!
My name is Kimberly. I live in Roseville, Northern CA. I am 18 and in my third semester of college. I was living with my fiance for a year but we recently separated and now I am back at my parent's house...ugghh. It's amazing how a break-up can motivate you to improve yourself! I think that while I was living on my own I was not paying attention to what I bought at the store and how I took care of my body so in a year I went from 200 lbs to 244. I just got into a new way of thinking. I am not on any diet but am trying to change my whole way of life. I eat smaller portions of healthier foods. I also joined a great gym (CA Family Fitness) and have been going daily. I like to take a class called "quick fit" that is a circuit class blending cardio and weight training. I am really motivated right now. I started the new way of life on good friday (March 25th 2005) and today it is April 13th and I have lost ten pounds already! Woo hoo. I am now at 234 and would like to get to 165 (where I was two years ago at age 16). I am 5'4 and was "blessed" (yeah right) with big bone structure as well as a not-so-good metabolism. I never hope to get into a size 6 or anything but would like to be comfortable in a size 10.

I have been toying with the idea of breast implants maybe somewhere down the line as a reward for when I get to 165. No one in my family has anything bigger than a size B breasts and I only have "almost B" even with the extra pounds. After I lose all this weight I probly will have nothing left lol so I will be researching into the possibility of implants but would not go any higher than a C. I don't want to look like barbie but I do want be happy with myself and I just don't think I want to have As forever! :D

So anyways sorry for the novel! Nice to meet you all and I hope to get a lot out of this forum :)

Welcome

Hi there

Welcome! I have only been here for a few days and already I have found so much good advice and so much support. It is so unbeleivable!

Sorry to hear that you broke up with your fiance! I got married at a really young age (19 yrs) and now I am 26 and very happily divorced after two years of a terrible marriage! Now I don't even want to get married before I turn 30. The best thing is that you now want to improve yourself for you and nobody else! Good luck!!!
 
Well he left me and said he was not happy. I was devastated at first and felt lost and alone. This happened only about three weeks ago and already I am getting a whole lot better. I know I love(d) him a lot but I think I love the "idea" of marriage and having a plan more than I loved being with him. I know I am young and I think since this was my first serious long-term relationship that I fell in love with the idea of having a plan and it made the fact that I was not very happy seem ok. I learned so much about myself and what I want in life from the relationship. We were together a year and a half and I thought I would be nothing without him. He showed me that I am a good person and deserve to be happy in life. I do not need a man to be happy right now, as I can do it by myself. I know what kind of traits I am looking for in a future husband but before I ever say yes to marriage again I will make sure I am really happy and not just happy to feel "safe". Thank you for your kind words and welcomes!
 
Welcome to the forum Kimberly :)
I'm sorry about your break up but i am glad it has help you see that you don't need a man feel safe. Boy does your story sound familiar to me. I moved away from home and lost a bunch of weight too. so i know how hard it can be to live at home and gain a whole bunch.
Girl your goal is so realistic and you can get there i know(believe me i've been there 262 and i'm now 164)
Get a diary started, it really does help and ppl here a great and will glad to support you in anyway you need.

Breast implants as a reward,good idea :)never thought about it that way (I'll see if i can convince my husband to go for that. thanks for the idea!)
 
Welcome to the forum :) Your going to do great just keep your head on straight and keep focus of the ultimate goal and don't let anyone lead you stray. Holla at me anytime!!!! Good Luck :D
