in Introduce Yourself
Hi! My name is Lila and I've been lurking about this website for a while. I have finally decided to sign up and try and be part of this wonderful community. I'm a 33 y.o. woman, 5'7 and sadly, weighing 263 pounds. I used to be super active till my early 20's, but I've pile on pound after pound in the last ten years. I've been on and off a multitude of diets et al., but I've always lacked the motivation to continue, and it always seemed like the moment I started seeing a shift weight wise...I would go back to my old ways with a vengeance, gaining it all back (and some). Rewind and play it again, every single time... :-(

I really feel that by joining you lot, I'll be enough motivated to stick to my diet and exercise. You have no idea how inspiring some of this stories are ( or maybe you do!), my jaw dropped a couple of times, seeing the amazing transformations you've gone through, both men and women. I really feel I can make it this time! You lot are absolutely amazing! I'm so happy I've found this site!
Cheers to all of you, and keep on going strong in your journeys! :-)

    Congratulations on re-committing. I myself just joined as well after doing good for 3 days and going on a I don't care phase for 10 days that resulted in further weight gain. I am determined to make it this time. I know you will accomplish your goal because I can tell that you are committed.

    I always tell myself that: "Commitment is what transforms a promise into a reality."

    Congrats on taking that first step. It's all about taking things one day at a time and setting realistic goals. Rome wasn't built in a day. But it was built eventually. You can do it. Stay focused!
