Options
Hey...Im 35 years old and from Canada. Im just logged on to this site but so far it looks pretty cool. I looking for people to write too who struggle with their weight like I do. Right now I have about 60 lbs to loose. I want to support others in their journey as well because God knows losing weight is so hard. What does everything think about this site? For my weight loss, I am pretty much doing a low carb diet. I am working out twice a day. I really want the old me back that thinner and happier. I am currently single. My boyfriend dumped about 2 weeks ago because I was "too fat". It really hurt my feelings and I cried for about 3 days but then I thought about it and he is right. I have gotten fat and I was denial for a long time about it. Not only is being over weight make you depressed its also hard on your body. How many of you out there have had to lose 80lbs or more? How long did it take you? How did you do it? I want to hear from you!!!
