My name is Jamie and I live in Colorado City. I have never been a skinny girl but have really ballooned up over the past 7 or so years, since the birth of my oldest child. I have tried numerous weight loss regimens including dietary supplements, low carb, fat smash diet, etc., with only minimal short-term success.

The greatest I felt was in January of 2011 when I got on a health kick and started eating right, making healthy substitutions for those not-so-healthy things, and went to the gym regularly. I was jotting down everything I was eating, as well as all the activities I was doing to get fit, and lost 40# in 3 months.... then life got stressful with illnesses, work and juggling everything, and i slowly began to slip back onto the "back burner." I lost my motivation, my will to change and became depressed. I am a compulsive eater, a stress eater and a bored eater--food addict.

But this year is the year I take back MY life and do what I need to do for ME so that I can properly juggle the home and work life, which can be very stressful when you work at home... lol. But we all need support and that is what I hope this group accomplishes :happy:

ADDENDUM: Forgot to add my goals... I'm 5'4" and sittin' right about 300# right now and would loved to get down to 160, but would settle for something around the 175-180 range. That is my ultimate.

Hi my name is Gari , and I was never a big girl until I got married and started having kids. I did not get this way over night. I made wrong choices and was lazy, content and ignored the truth. I'm not looking to be super skinny again but aim looking to get healthy and lose weight. I am using and extra boost to help me control my appetite and have done well so far. I am adding fitness pall to keep myself honest and share my journey.
