Hi, my name is Chasity I am 20 years old and I am new to this. I am going to start watching my weight beggining this upcoming Monday September 27, 2010. My goal is to loose about 40-50 lbs. I have been trying on and off for about a year, but I always end up giving up and gaining more weight in the end. Hopefully I will not be a failure this time.

    Welcome; you've made a good first step. Just remember this is not s diet but a lifestyle change and hopefully you can break the cycle of ups and downs!

    I want to also recommend what sweetbn said. The biggest path to failure is to look at this as a goal to diet in order to lose weight. You want to get into the mindset that you are changing to a healthier lifestyle, and the weight loss is just part of it, but not the main thing. Also, make sure not to do anything too extreme. Changing your lifestyle can be a very tough psychological thing, and too-much-too-fast can shock both your body, mind, and motivation. Good luck and welcome aboard. A lot of great and motivating people on this site.
