Day 1

Hello everyone, I am new to FitClick...hoping to find the support I need to help me reach my goal.  Some background on me: A few years ago a fluke happened, and left me without the use of my legs for 2 & 1/2yrs, surgeries, then another 18mths of learning to walk again. During this time I put on an extra 200lbs, from turning to smokes and food for comfort. My attitude of tell me I can't do something and I'll prove you wrong, flew out the window ... I turned into the person who said I can't to everything.  My boyfriend said the strong-willed fighter he fell in love with is hiding deep inside, and needs to come out a few months ago....That was my turning point.  I want my fight, attitude, and fit body back... I used to live by a 2Letter/10Word phrase " IF IT IS TO BE, IT IS UP TO ME" ...now I am back to that for most aspects in my life...but this weightloss is something I need the extra support with from others.  At my heaviest I was 370lbs 6 months ago.  After trying things on my own with just general infromation and some exercise I am now 295, and still have another 130 to hit my goal weight.  I have leveled of on a plateau and the weight loss has slowed.  So today I went and Joined the local Curves Gym, and have set the date for quitting smoking for Sept. 30th.  Anyone wanting a buddy for their journey also just ask: words of encouragement , just a hey did you get your workout done today, and or even smart-ass remark about being lazy today and get off your butt is always welcome, lol. Laters I will post soon with updates... Thanks Chaos
