My Initial Meeting

Hi there!  I'm Sarah Rose.  

Some things you should know about me.  I currently weigh in around 320 pounds.  I started at 360 pounds.  I've lost that missing forty pounds in the last 5 months.  I'm excited about my progress.

The number one thing I have found that has helped me be successful is accountability.  This is the main reason I'm so excited to try my "Great Y Experiment."  I have at my side a six month membership, a trainer/accountability partner/new friend named Kathy, and a deep desire to get to a healthy weight for the first time ever in my life.

I met with Kathy a few days ago.  She was amazing.  She gave me a tour of the Y, a schedule of all the classes, and helped me feel hopeful that this was a place I would "fit" and "belong."  I observed a class going on and was optimistic that the class would not be too crowded for me to feel comfortable, but still had enough people that I would not feel singled out.  I have a lot to learn about using the machines, but I'm feel confident that I will get the hang of them as time goes on.

I plan on writing about the classes I attend, the people I meet, the things I learn, and my progress over the next six months.  Please join me!  Come to the classes!  Set goals with me!  I can even interview you for my blog!  And we can achieve our goals together!
