new here

Hi,
I am new to this site. I'm not new to trying to lose weight. I have tried off and on for over ten years.
There is high cholesterol and high blood pressure in my family and right now i am the only one not on medicine for it.
I have tried every diet you can imagine. After the second week of each one, i lose my motivation. I get frustrated easily.
Out of all the diets that i have tried the one i did the longest was the Drop ten diet.
I wasn't hungry on this one but after the second week, i was bored. I live in an apartment so any exercise that involves jumping i cant do it.
I have Zumba and while it is fun I get tired easily too. I love dancing. Its so much fun. When i find something i have fun doing a particular exercise i will continue with it. I am just trying to get back in the hundreds as far as my weight.

    You can do it! Find the people/things that motivate you and speak up about your goals! You'd be surprised how supportive people can be when they think they're going to be able to help you. :)

    Does your apartment allow dogs? A great reason to walk everyday!

    Good luck to you!
