in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! so yea, I'm a noob when it comes to this website, and It seems really nice to find people who motivate and support each other. A little background: My Name is Alex! And I am a "Foodaholic" I used to weigh about 245 lbs at the age 15 with little to no social life.. but All that changed and for a good 2 years all I did was eat Chicken and brown rice. Also ran about 2-6 miles a day. After I reached my goal weight of 160, I got well.. Lazy. And went all the way back up to 190lbs. So taking the bull by the horns I decided to do this workout called "Insanity" and lost a lot of body fat and gained a good amount of muscle. So getting back to around 165 I was feeling great... but life takes another big turn on me, I recently Moved up to Northern California from Southern Cali a few months ago. And that Vicious cycle is starting to happen all over again! I weighed myself the other day, and see myself getting back up in weight again. But I feel that Motivation to lose weight is slipping hardcore, maybe its because i keep repeating this Gain weight / lose weight cycle and my mind is just over it. So I guess that's why I'm here, just looking for something to get that brain of mine motivated. Thanks for making it to the end of my sob story =D.

    Hi,
    Friend request sent.
    My name is Yvette and you can reach your goals we have to fight for our happiness, because everyone deserves to be and feel happy. I have battled being obese all my life. Losing weight and gaining it right back. I started at 227lbs and my current weight is 164 lbs. I am striving to meet my goal and lose the last 14 lbs of my weight, but I know that I have to continue this lifestyle forever if I don't want to ever return to the old me. I am on here a lot to keep myself motivated and give support and encourgement. Lets encourage and help one another on this weight loss and fitness journey to a healthier us. The more friends the better.

    Same here with being new to online stuff! All I know is that I am at my low point and am done feeling disgusted with the way I look and how much I weigh. It is time to lose the weight and I am going to need some serious motivation! It is great that there are people on here who are in the same mindset as me!
