    I am amazed at how many are in my boat!

    I am 26 at 291lbs (5'9")and I have PCOS. I live in southern Cali and I an a horrible procrastinator and I never stick to anything for long. I was successful about a year ago to loose 30 lbs but gained it all back. I am at my heaviest and every year I hear myself say that for my current weight. I feel like if I don't get on the wagon and stick to this I will never get anywhere.

    I have some support, friends and family, but my husband is a big ol' redneck who thinks a low carb diet is bull crap- so that is probably my biggest challenge.

    I am a full time student in an RN program and I work full time.

    I have a million excuses every time I diet and every time I fail. I don't know what will help me but I am going to try again!

    If anyone want to add me, feel free!

    I'm 24 and I'm losing weight for no other than to better my life altogether. Nothing more, nothing less.

    I'm 22 and looking to lose 63 kg, I have lost 20kg so far since starting in the middle of July putting me at a weight of 120kg (264 pounds). I have no health issues. I'm a recent graduate and currently working as an account manager before embarking on my masters degree, hopefully next autumn.

    To me this is a lifestyle change and in the long term there will be days when you eat more, eat out, or have a packet of crisps - nothing is off limits but I try to control the portion control and frequency. I'm doing really well with the eating so far except some evening snack attacks so I try to be strong during grocery shopping to ensure that I don't buy many bad snacks. I try to buy 2 individual desserts for the weekend for example to ensure there are no extras testing my willpower. And I don't eat anything at work that I didn't bring in - I pack lunch and 2 snacks every day!

    I've taken up running (up to 7km now) and really enjoy it. I also play squash every now and again and this week I'm doing an intensive beginner yoga class - fun times!

    I'm primarily looking for friends who are into exercise/want to get into exercise as fitness goals are as important to me as weight goals, so feel free to add me!

    I'm 21 and I'm trying to lose 100. I'd be happy with 80 though. I started at 221.6 and I've lost 28 so far (4 on here and the rest with Weight watchers which I'm still actively doing) You're not alone dear, there's lots of us in the same boat! :)
