Hello. I am a 23 my name is Kayla. All my life I have struggled with my weight. All thru school I was very overweight. My heaviest while in school was 170-180lbs when I was 16. My junior year in high school I started taking better care of myself, no drastic changes but I started walking around my neighborhood everyday with friends (it didn't seem like exercise because I was just hanging out with friends) and my mom joined weightwatchers so our meals at home were much healthier and I lost over 60lbs without trying and by graduation I weighed 118lbs at my lowest (which was too low for me...I looked sick) but I felt great and had a lot of confidence.

When I got to college I balanced out around 125lbs and that is where I was most happy and I kept if off for years...until now.

I got to my heaviest being pregnant with my baby boy who was born last October! (I can't believe he is almost a year)

I gained far too much with my pregnancy and I had a lot of complications following my delivery which put my post-partum weight loss on hold. I never watched what I ate and didn't exercise at all for over 2 years now.

Since finding this site and reading the success posts I have finally gotten motivated to lose this weight for the second time in my life, but this time I am going to have to work for it much harder. I was wondering if there was anybody close to my age going thru a similar struggle...maybe we could help encourage each other!

I have over 50lbs to lose :(
