in Introduce Yourself
Hi there,
My name is Jenna and I am on a quest for a healthier me. Too many "just one more's" added up to WAY too many. Who knew? I am currently on day 24 and recently found out you can have friends! I would like to find others who need/give support :)

My current plan is lowered calories *1400 a day, and I go to the gym a few times a week for a minimum of 40 minutes cardio. I was losing with great stride for the first 2 weeks, then it stopped! ACK!!

Yesterday I took my 3rd week of lipovite injections, as a friend suggested I try them and Adipex. While the Adipex does curb my hunger, it really doesn't seem to be doing anything else. I never really ate just because I was hungry, boredom is more like it. But I do find that it makes me feel full so when I do eat, it is less. I certainly don't want to depend on anything but thought it could help kick start my journey. Week 3 and I am less than impressed. I will try for another 2 then I will change that up.

Anyway... HELP! Add me and lets travel this road together :)

    I will add you :) I was always skinny Minnie as a child. I started gaining weight in high school and in 1990 I hurt my back, that led to less activity and then add to that I had a crappy relationship which brought depression I am told lol. I ate to feel better, I ate to feel bad,, I ate to live, I ate to sleep, I ate ate ate....

    I have gained and lost so many times I can't count. I battled with fertility issues throughout my 20's and early 30's. The doctors told me I would not get pregnant until I lost weight. Well I lost 10, gained 20... it was a yoyo.

    In June I decided to start this journey. I lost about 28 pounds and then it just seemed to stop. I worked out harder, ate less but nothing seemed to help. Then I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant. The next day I found out I was miscarrying. It was at that point I decided THIS HAS TO CHANGE.

    So here I am.... I don't know that I will have any children as I am now 40...l but I realized I need to get healthier!

    I'm about 3 weeks in and have about 40 lbs to go, I understand the weight loss "stall" , I tell myself that my true goal is to log my calories and stay within my allotment daily, the weight will come off eventually . Add me if you like !
