    Hi I can totally relate to yo yo dieting, especially having just emerged from a 2week binge. I'm sure I could be a source of support. Add me :)

    Former yo-yo dieter here as well. I say former because I am determined that this is IT for me, lol. I am currently working on maintaining and toning and think this is even scarier for me than loosing. I am so afraid that I will slowly start to ease up and get lazy and gain again. Please feel free to add me!
  • I totally get where you are coming from! I have had all the same problems. Through high school i played so many sports and was really thin but after it was like AHHHHH where is all this weight coming from!! My body couldn't keep u with how much I ate without the 5 hour workouts :( Then I started a serious relationship and we all know how that goes. Needless to say I got VERY comfortable and now weigh 245lbs, and have gallstones. So far I've lost 12lbs in the 2.5 weeks but I'm starting to feel less motivated. And like you I have no one to help motivate me. My goal is 120-130lbs and its starting to feel like its so far away!!
  • Hi, my name is Cheri and I have 130lbs to lose. Highest weight was 240lbs in Sept. 2012. Add me if you like, I have an open diary too.
    Have a great morning!!
