I want to change my life!

Hello, all!
I just started using MFP this week, and I'm so excited to continue my weight loss journey with it. Like many, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. I was the fat girl who didn't like to be touched because I didn't want to feel myself big in someone else's arms. I still get that way when my weight starts to fluctuate up again.
Three years ago I lost 60 lbs and was the happiest I've ever been. After moving in with my husband (then fiance) in 2008, my weight slowly came back. I've gained about 30 of the 60 lbs I lost since I got together with my husband.
For the last year, I have been able to maintain my weight but I want it gone! I drink plenty of water, eat whole grains, don't drink soda (haven't touched it in three years), and actually enjoy eating healthy fruits and vegetables. Of course I still have my weaknesses, and I know I don't get enough exercise. But I'm hoping that with the support of a community like this I can get my act together and lose that 30 lbs that just keeps haunting me!
So hello, again! It's nice to know I'm not in this alone!

Welcome. I have a similar story. I have done a great job and lost 80 lbs. I have about 30 to go, and well, no movement for 6 months. Of course, I am maintaining - so I am proud, I just want to lose.
It is a journey with ups and downs. I'm sure that I will be working on my health my whole life.0 -
