Adventures of a Fat Girl

I wanted a gym membership to a place that was a.) cheap, and b.) comfortable to me. I did my research, I did my tours, and I found that Planet Fitness was the gym for me. It is advertised as a "Judgment Free Zone," and it really is! I go in, hook my headphones into one of the CC televisions they provide -- unless nothing else I like is on, then I pop my headphones into my Sansa Zip Clip mp3 player -- and begin my workout.



I do 20 minutes on the treadmill, with a heart rate goal of 150 - 155.
Then 20 minutes of any of the elliptical machines, again with my heart rate goal of 150 - 155.
And 3 sets of 10 reps on several different machines for various body parts.



I have not once felt uncomfortable going into that gym, it is always clean and everyone is friendly. I've gotten some wonderful tips from other work-outers, and even got my fiancée to join the gym! I am overweight, and hate it. I've been wanting to change my lifestyle, and I have been actively trying that but lately what I was originally doing just wasn't enough. It was getting frustrating, and that's only normal right?




So, here are the Adventures of a Fat Girl.
Here is my Journey to Weight Loss and a Healthier Lifestyle.




And here is my own little "About Me" section:



Name: Siera Nicole Minton
Age: 22
Sex: Female
Location: Ohio, USA


Current Weight: 258.8 lbs.
Weight in 2008: 359 lbs.
Goal Weight: 130 - 150 lbs.




I have been going down a long and tedious road, and have tried so much to help myself become a better, healthier person. I've lost 100 pounds since 2008, and I am trying so hard to lose my last 110 - 130 pounds right now before my wedding in September of next year.
