in Introduce Yourself
I'm 35 and within the past 5 years I managed to gain 128 pounds. After seeing my weight on a Dr's scale last week I decided it was time to do something! I've been battling my self esteem for the last few years, lost interest in my hubby about a year ago, getting totally disgusted seeing my back have multiple rolls. The night after my appointment I got a Living Social deal that was $78 to Weight Loss MD. I figured that was a sign. I signed up, bought a treadmill and placed it in my front room so I wouldn't have any excuse and proceeded to read over and understand the lifestyle changes I need to make. So not quite a week yet, but I've lost 4 pounds so I'm excited. I'm sticking really hard to the 1200 calorie diet, walking on that treadmill every day and still keeping up with my college work and my job. I'm busy, tired but I've never felt better. I'm so motivated now that I'm sure I'll stick to the work out regimen and really lose the weight. I'd love som fellow weight loss people to talk to. ;-)

    I can relate to you on all fronts. I hate my body, I have low self esteem and of recent had mild depression, all down to the fact that I am overweight. I only started putting on the weight after the birth of my second son reaching my heaviest weight of 174 lbs, that was 11 years ago. I lost the weight and managed to keep it off for few years, however I gave up smoking 4 years ago and took up eating bigger portions . I am now 169lbs and I am 5ft 4inches, I really want to shift this weight as I will be 40 in a year and a half, I would love to be fab, fit and 40 but most importantely I want to like myself again. I was always very social but find that I hide myself away now as I don't like the way my clothes look on me. so its time to take the bull by the horns and get my act together, if you need support give me a shout...want to get rid of my muffin top as soon as possible :smile:
