New comer looking for advice & support. Trying to start healthy lifestyle journey

cazm335

I'm in my early 20s, I've been trying to lose weight for 10+ years. I always start and then fall off and end up gaining more weight. I'm my heaviest I've been at 275lbs. I know this isn't great for my health and Im finally mustering up the nerve to take charge of my life and making a change. I would love to hear from people who are or were formally obese and have made progess and how you did it. Please be detailed about nutrition and physical activity please

You'll find a lot of stories on here about personal weight loss journeys. And you'll find even more people here who've struggled with on-and-off weight gain.

My biggest challenge has been creating sustainable eating and exercise habits - it's pretty easy to lose weight when you're being strict about dieting and working out, but it's a very easy slide back into old habits once you loosen up on the reigns!
