“What do I want?

I want to lose 20 pounds of body fat in the next 12 weeks. I want to do it slowly, safely and healthfully and then keep it off permanently. I want all the fat around my hips and thighs completely gone and I want a firm flat stomach. I want muscle all over my body while still looking feminine. I’d like to see myself at about 16% body fat and maintain all my muscle or gain a few pounds of lean mass if I can, especially in my arms. This is important to me because I want to set a good example for my kids, I want to be healthy and live to at least 90 and I want my husband to look at me and say, “I love your body,” and I want to be able to *honestly* say back to him, “me too!”

Hi everyone, well what can I say about myself. I am feeling really down because no matter what I do I cant seem to loose this weight! ARGHH!!! I am so frustrated and I promise you that I want to do something about it, but I cant seem to find the strength to do what I need to do. Its like I have all this energy inside dying to get out, but as soon as I get home all I want to do is sit on my butt and do nothing but think of eating!!! I need to change things and I am hoping that I will draw hope, encouragement and inspiration from people that are going through the same struggle as me. Maybe even make a few friends along the way
