Hey.. this is Sandi and this is my introduction I guess :)
Let's see.. I have always been overweight. From babyhood on up.
I did have a few years there in high school (due to cheerleading and lots of exercising) and at the beginning of my marriage when I was a size 12. Even then.. I thought that was fat. What I wouldnt' give to be that size now!
After I had my first two children, I lost the weight easily through breast feeding. Burning up those calories! Then I had #3..just 18 months after #2 and I just never could get it off again. I will admit that I didn't try either. I was busy and ate what I could when I could.
The biggest I have been is a size 22.. and that was about 2 or 3 years ago. At this moment I am at a tight 16. LOL. The reason I lost that is because I had major surgery last Sept. I can feel it creeping back on though. And I really don't want that to happen. I have felt great at a 16 and if I could get that down to a 14 I would be in heaven.
It's embarrassing to be fat. It's uncomfortable. I hate buying fat clothes.
The biggest thing for me right now is toning. I am so sick of looking in my mirror and looking at all this sagging out of shape flab and skin. It's gross and I can't stand to look at it. It's not like I want to wear a bikini or even anything close to that..but I would like to have firm arms, legs and have a butt that doesn't jiggle when I walk.
I am going to focus on exercise I think and then add in the better eating with that. Actually I don't eat all that much all the time.. but I just make poor choices.
Ok.. that is me.. Oh yeah. I am a month or so away from being 42 and am 5'6" tall.

Thanks for sharing your story here, Sandi. I honestly have to say that I am not so sure that I can do that here. I applaud you and Ty and everyone else who does an introduction or something similar. I think I will have to share in small doses. I hope you all will bear with me on that.
I'm with you on that toning thing!! Whew.....being 40 something means things are jiggling all over....LOL
Hollz.. I KNOW... and really sometimes i think wtf? when I see a bunch of women's size clothes with winnie the pooh on them or something stupid like that.. and I think.. now why would i want to wear that???? lol
we need to design some decent clothes!
and chelle.. share what you wish.. no pressure anywhere here:)
I totally agree on the women's clothing, it's depressing.
Sandi-We'll just take it one day at a time. We can do this.
