Ht. 5'5", Start: 150 lb, Today: 150 lb, Goal: 130 lb - I've been reading a lot of people's posts on here and it really inspired me. I've been trying to find a page to read such stories, or know that I'm not the only one who is weight crazy. I do not consider myself to be 'fat' by any means, but I'm surely chubby around the stomach area and arms which bothers me. I've always been considered the 'smaller' one in my family, and since my parents got divorced last year, I've gained 30 pounds. Over the past week I have done some form of cardio and some ab work but I'm wondering if that is enough to see results? Not yet of course, but if I kept at it. I have a hard time keeping focussed on cardio, while running/walking I realize how bored I get and want to go home .. I even bring music! I need help keeping on track. Any ideas?
Thank you!

Hey!
I'm glad to know I'm not the only one at this state. I can do only about 30 minutes of walking before I'm bored out of my mind. I was hoping I could start my grade 12 year thinner..but I think I've started this too late to see any change by then.
:(
