Well, it's done. My first workout in a couple of months. It feels really good to have that done. I know that it wasn't as long as I would like, but I will get there. I did 35 minutes of cardio. I didn't think that I would be able to do that. Maybe by next week, I will be up to 45 minutes.
Tomorrow is my first Weight Watchers Meeting. I am really nervous about it. I know that everyone there either is or was in the same boat as me, but by being there, it means admitting, "I am fat". I shouldn't concentrate on that.
I am making a change. I am going to work at it. I will live a healthy & fit lifestyle. I will teach my children about living a healthy life!

Nice job on the workout...hopefully you won't be too sore. Make sure to take it slow getting back into it. I think it took me 2 or 3 weeks before I was comfortable going longer than 20 or 30 minutes.
Also, don't sweat the meeting tomorrow. Fat, overweight, big boned...whatever you want to call it, you've admitted it to yourself which is the first step towards getting healthy...:)
Thanks for the advice & encouragement! I definately feel like I need it. I am sure that everything will be fine. Just like getting that "first" workout over & done with was a relief, I am sure that going to my first meeting will be a relief also.
Nice job and good luck. I'm a little partial to Weight Watchers as Nato went with me to my first. Now 45lbs lighter, a weight watchers leader, and soon to be marathon runner, I know if you stick to it and make it a lifestyle change it can work for you. I believe in my heart that everyone has to want this in order for it to work. Good luck.
like Brian said, it has to be a lifestyle change. I've been on and off Weight Watchers for the last 6 years, and while I could say the right things, I would go through the motions for a while and then fall off the wagon. This time something clicked. I realize now that I can't eat the way I used to ever again. This is not something I can do until I get to my goal...this is my goal. Brian can attest to the fact that this time I'm committed. I've NEVER lost weight 12 weeks in a row. I've NEVER been on points 12 weeks in a row. In order to be successful, you really need to change your mindset completely about how you eat, not just what you eat. We're here for you...:)
