Introduce yourself:Hi, my name is Stephanie! Nice to me yall:)What are your fitness goals?First of all, I want to lose weight and fit into a size 10 again. I never thought I'd be a size 16 and I don't really like it.What has been the hardest hurdle youve encountered in your fitness journey?Getting shin splints has been really annoying, it has forced me drastically cut down my exercising habits and right now I can only do light stuff.What motivated you to start getting in shape? There were several things that all happened around the same time. First of all, my fat clothes started getting tight and didn't want to buy new ones. Then my college graduation and my parents anniversary are coming up. Both are formal events and I have to wear a dress and I know it'll be hard to go dress shopping. And my most important motivating factor is my wedding of course!Greatest GIS accomplishment, thus far? I have lost 9lbs so far and a few inches within 3 1/2 weeks!How do you stay motivated? I just think about the horror dress shopping will be if I don't lose weight...Do your family/friends support your GIS goals? FI supports me and he likes the healthy meals I cook. I do most of my exercise at home while he's at work but he joins me whenever I ride my bike, go swimming or go for a walk. My family and my friends don't live here but they support me in spirit and are happy for me when I tell them about my progress:)
