Hi, I'm Sarah and still very new to this website. I have always felt I was overweight since high school. I definitely gained the freshman 15 plus some when I was away at college. I am 23 now and have been out of college and at my current job for a year and a half. Over the last 6 months I have been feeling worse and having much lower self esteem. I do not like what I see when I look in the mirror or see pictures, and I am having back problems that may be related to weight. I also have a desk job and commute over 2.5 hours a day. My career is stressful, and I have to continue taking professional exams for a few more years to become certified in my field. Therefore, once I get home from my long commute, I have to study for a couple more hours which has made me even more sedentary than I was in college. I finally weighed myself last night and I am at 194. I have gained 8lbs in the last 6 months, and I'm definitely seeing/feeling the difference. This is my first serious attempt at weight loss, and I'm hoping this site will help motivate me. My goal weight is 150-160.
It is really hard to lose weight when you have so much demand on you. Working a desk job and having the long commute makes it seem almost impossible to get in any exercise. I understand. But I really believe you can do this. Also you have seemed to achieved a lot in the past few years and that is something you should be proud of.0 -
Hi! I am Hester. I have 2 boys ages 9 and 5. I started mfp at 215lbs. I am currently 193. I hope to get to 140s. I think at this point 160 would be a thrill! lol. I am from Oklahoma. I am a nurse massage therapist. the weight is holding me back from being an effective lnmt. I want to lose so I have more stamina at work.0
