Tired of just existing....

Hi everyone...my first day on My Fitness Pal. I feel as though I am just existing; I'm overweight (obese), my body hurts, and all I have to do is "think" about exercise and I start to sweat. As a child I was so skinny that my mom would take me to the Dr. to get vitamin shots...I guess I should blame that Dr. for my weight problem now...lol. Anyhoo, I started gaining weight when I went through puberty (too much info??) I have been on every diet known to man; have been to WW, TOPS, Diet Center, have belonged to three gyms, and at one time was on PhenFen--before they deemed it dangerous. So here I am, wanting to feel better about myself physically and emotionally. I'm looking at this new experience as a journey instead of a diet plan. "That" four-letter-word always sets me up for failure. Would love to get to know some of you and I'm glad to be part of the group.

    Hey. I don't have an identical story, but I'm with you. This is all about lifestyle for me. Not a diet or weight loss.
