Hello my name is Ali,
I am currently 178lbs and desperate to lose weight. I am 5'4 and in my 20's.
I have been a size 8 most my life until after I had my only child, who is now 2 and I still have not got back to what I was.
Would love to gain some friends and support :) x

    I too was about 178 pounds in my 20's..I am now almost 40 and weigh about 150...When I was about 30, I lost about 70 pounds..But have since gained some back..I had to change my life..not my diet..but my life. I had to think differently about food, counted my calories, exercised 5 times a week..I had to be devoted and make a decision to lose weight...no matter what. That is how I did it.
    I am trying to get back with it, but feel in a rut. I would like to at least be at 130 because I too am only 5'3.
    Maybe we can support each other here!
