Okay, so today was my epiphany. I've gained more weight, I'm at my highest ever. Was getting super depressed, and hating myself. I was unable to go to the gym due to a heart murmur investigation, and a recurring back injury, but I've resolved both but now I'm going to get back on track! to the gym today, and healthy eating from now on. I graduate in april and I plan on being a new me! Friends, please kick my *kitten* into gear! I'm 5'6 and 215 lbs today, and I want to get to my first goal of 160. I want to see how far I can get by april, which is when I graduate from university and i need friends with similar goals and stats.

I'm 21 and I started about 6 months ago because I was also my heaviest ever and I couldn't stand to even look myself in the mirror anymore. In my journey I've learned a lot about nutrition, health and exercise and each day I learn some more. The important thing to remember is that lasting results take time. Add me, we'll motivate each other.0

When I was 21, I weighed 383lbs and am down to 180, so I know you can do this! Hang in there and with every lb you lose, you'll gain a ton of confidence! Eat clean & exercise (as much as you can), and you'll be well on your way!0

Hello!! I started my weight loss journey exactly 4 weeks ago today. I am in the same boat as you: 5'6'', 225 pounds. My goal is also 160 pounds. Currently, I am doing Jillian Michaels' 30 Day Shred DVD, and I am kind of obsessed with it. Each workout is around 25-30 minutes in length, and there are three workouts in total (each getting progressively harder). My first challenge was to complete 30 days of the Shred in a row. I completed day 28 this morning! So far, I have lost 20 inches and almost 10 pounds. I would recommend it to anyone. You can do it!!!0

I am also obsessed with 30DS I completed day 29 today (every day) with a weight lose of 16lbs, and half way measurements of 13inches in total can't wait untill tomorrow to get updaded results. Once I have finished I will be doing her Kickbox Fastfix for another 30 days I'm really enjoying getting fit (not something I thought I'd ever say).

Good luck Rioux! I started three weeks ago on P90x, at my peak weight of 267! One week at a time, with good nutrition and exercise you'll reach your goal! Good luck and keep logging in!0

Hey! I happened to see your post on the sidebar and decided to drop you a line. College/University is terribly difficult fo us gals. I gained far more than my freshman 15! More like 30lbs. Then I hit the work world and busy times ensued which lead to poor eating habits. I was married soon after and then the babies came. I gained over 80lbs with each of my two kids, never quite losing it all in between. The day before I gave birth to my daughter, I topped the scale at 240lbs. Boy, was I hoping for a 40lb baby. Alas, it wasn't to be. lol. 6wks after her birth I started my weight loss journey. A few years later, I am down over 100lbs and back to my normal small self!
Mayo clinic, as well as other medical professionals, will tell you that exercise is 10% of wieght loss. The other 90% is healthy diet. I applaud your commitment to exercise and encourage it but I admit it - I hate it and seldom partake.:) So if you are looking for healthy recipes, ideas to cut calories and what not, drop me a line!0 -
Wow your story is amazing. Congratulations.0

I'm 5'7 and looking to lose about 60 pounds also. I think your story is incredible and I'm gonna add you because I'm new here and I need friends0

I am also 21, would like to lose 40-60 pounds & would love to work with some of you guys to achieve our goals! It's good to hear from people in the same boat, sometimes it can be so difficult.0
