No more playing around

Hi, I'm Lynn. I have been overweight my entire life. In high school I was always very active in sports and various activities so my weight and overall health then was somewhat under control. However when I started college the stress, dorm life and heavy dorm food took it's toll and the freshman 15 become more like the freshman 30. I went from exercising almost every day to doing almost nothing, and it showed. After I got out of the dorms I vowed to do something about my weight and through a grueling workout regimen and calorie counting lost 30 pounds. But I was miserable with it and was literally spending 4 plus hours everyday planning my workouts and eating schedule, and being a full time student and working two jobs this was not realistic and certainly not a lifestyle change. There was no way I could keep that up and have as a result gained all the weight plus some back. So here I am again and this time I am determined to do this the right way. I am sick of having no energy and I want to feel good about myself and my achievements and be confident in my health, which is something I haven't felt in over five years. A friend and I decided to start this path together and she was recommended to this site, so I decided I have nothing to loose and I am going to give it a shot. I can and WILL do this because I am tired of having to start over. I have about 75 pounds to loose and it starts today.
