HELLO, My name is Elecia and I am 22 years old. So I'm really not new to this site, I am just returning. I am back on my weight loss journey because I gained weight without really noticing at first. My struggle is I am just not motivated to exercise, probably because I am doing it alone. I have a terrible stomach due to my vertical c section in 2009. My goal is to drop down to 140 and see how it looks. Everybody says it is impossible but I have seen results of a woman who had a vertical c section achieve a flat tummy and able to wear a two piece. I am still very young so hopefully that plays a part in my skin elasticity. I'm really just looking for people to keep me focused and on track with my goal. I really want to stick to it this time. At the end of the day I know Im whats holding me back.

    Welcome back! Are you training at the gym or at home?

    Do you know what is really getting you down? I train at home alone for over 4 years now and i have no problem staying accountable.

    You sure can get a flat stomach if you work hard for it and have a clean nutrition plan with a good calorie deficit.

    I get where you're coming from. I had twins at 24 years old, which really took a toll on my stomach. Now I'm trying to lose the extra weight and we'll see what my stomach looks like at the end!

    I am using SlimFast right now to lose weight, but I don't know that I will stick with it for the whole diet. I don't want to feel locked in on one thing.

    I just started a blog, where I write out exactly what I'm eating, motivation, my stats, etc. This might help you too. I find blogging to really motivate me. If you want to take a look at mine, its at slimfastmommy.wordpress.com It might give you some ideas that could help you out!

    Or you can blog right on this site! Knowing that others are seeing what you're posting might help you to stick with your plan. I wish you the best of luck!!

    I do think your age will benefit you a lot :)
