Fighting My Genetics

I've been overweight/obese since I was a small child. What was a chunky childhood turned into obese teenage years- then adult years. I know some of it was genetics and some of it was unhealthy habits. In 2007 I completely changed my lifestyle, and lost 70 lbs that year. I have kept up eating healthy/clean and also kept exercising as often as I could since then but had gained back most of the weight.

I started fighting back again this February, then started a more intense exercise program in June. I joined MFP at some point in June but haven't been more involved than logging food and exercise. I wanted to reach out to the community and receive as well as provide support as we all work towards our goals. I am discovering what works for me and my genetics and how to achieve lasting weight loss.

Thank you all for reading this and being part of the MFP community!

    Welcome I'm glad you joined. I recently started working towards my weight loss goal again, after a try and a fail, and Having MFP friends can be very motivating so feel free to add me =D
