New!

Hey all. This is my first post and I'm just looking for some moral support. I am 24 years old (will be 25 in April) and I am and have been overweight all my life. I have been trying to lose weight since I was in middle school. I have tried every diet you could ever think of and own every piece of work out equipment you could ever think of. I just can't find that motivation to lose the weight.

The closest I've came to my goal weight was on a meal replacement diet. It was one of the worst diets I've ever been on, but it worked and the weight came off fast. The only thing is I felt so deprived of food that once it was finally over, I ate everything I had been missing out on through out the 3 months I was on the diet and sadly, it all came back (plus 30 lbs) I seem to be infamous for this. I will go on a diet and put my whole heart and soul into it, but as soon as the diet is over, I am right back to the same habits and the weight just comes right back. This is so discouraging.

This time I am looking for a lifestyle change. No magical diet, no magical pill, no magical work out machine.. just the old fasioned way through eating HEALTHY and EXCERCISING. I will NOT use the word "diet" anymore. I am looking for friends to go along on this journey with.

My motivation is fitting into the wedding dress of my dreams, having a happy and healthy pregnancy and being healthy for my future children, looking and feeling great about myself and for my spouse. I feel like this time will be different because I know that I marriage and babies is in my near future and I want to be the healthiest I can be for the people I love more than anything in this world.

I CAN do this.
