Well, about a year ago I lost my job and since then I have gained 40lbs! I have started back on my routine exercise and diet this month because I've had it. This cannot continue! I was 175lb when I was laid off, gained about 20lb within the following 3 months and have gained the other 20lbs in that time till now. I cannot continue like this.

I have started playing tennis once again trying to keep active. Started to run again. It is hard because I'm still jobless, but I need to care for myself.

Anyway, I'm here to try to track my diet and also try to talk to people to motivate me to continue.

Thanks!

    I was out of work for a bit, as well, and gained 20 lbs. I know how you feel. I found this site and was able to lose that 20 lbs., but have since gained them back. Ugh! I'm focused on losing them once again...for good! Friend me if you'd like. We can motivate each other!
