I think it's high time I got a grip on my life!

I pretty much feel that I've been over weight my whole life. I feel like I've tried everything but I just get more and more lax with my diet and exercise routine and before I know it, the scale is creeping back up.

I'm tired of not being able to wear that cute dress because they don't make it big enough.

I'm tired of having to wear maternity jeans because they're the only thing I can find in my size.

I'm tired of being the fattest person at my work and feeling judged when I walk through the grocery store.

I'm tired of making excuses and ignoring my issue.

I've been a member of MFP before, but never really logged in. I promised myself that things would be different "next time around" and here I am... 20lbs heavier than when I started. I've actually gained 50lbs in 5 years. And I wasn't even at a healthy weight then! Now my situation is worse!

I am hoping that with the help of the community here I can stay motivated.

Anyone in Southern California (specifically Orange County)? I would love to have some friends to meet up with locally to go for walks, share recipes, visits to the farmer's market, etc.

(Friends from all over are cool too, I don't want to sound picky!)
