Hello,
I joined this site not to long ago and am extremely motivated simply from what this site has to offer. My ultimate goal is to get healthy! I do want to lose about 15-25 lbs. that I've gained in the last year but that is not my main concern. I was in the hospital about a month ago and though it didn't have much to do with what I was eating I realized that in order to stay out of the hospital (for anything under my control) I would need to be the healthiest self I have ever been. I hate hospitals and would much rather change my lifestyle than have to go through anything remotely like what I went through again!!

I didn't grow up with parents who educated me about nutrition/exercise so I think I lucked out when it comes to being the size I am. I can't stand it when people hear that I am eating nutritious food and exercising and exclaim "you don't need to lose weight" or ask me why I'm doing the things I'm doing, like only obese people should be healthy. It just sounds ignorant.

So that's my story. Hopefully with this site I can keep up the momentum and I look forward to hearing of others' progress, thanks!
