Hi there!! I'm Ruby. I gained about 25 pounds over a year and it has been really hard for me.:cry: this is the biggest i have ever been. i gained this weight because of stress and emotional eating. My confidence has gone down the drain after this weight gain. I really need to lose this weight and would be truly happy if i had positive vibe and encouragement around me.:happy:

    Hi there!

    I'm also in a similar situation; I gained about 30 kg (66 pounds) in just over a year, going from underweight to overweight. I've lost some of it, but I'm still trying to lose the last 5 - 8 kg. I know that I can lose the weight in a month or two (because I did manage, but then put it back on again), but I keep losing motivation.

    Here's some info about me:
    age: 24
    height: 165 cm - 5ft5"
    hw: 73 kg - 160 lbs (Jan 2013)
    cw: 60 kg - 132 lbs
    ((I was down at 57 kg - 125 lbs in August, but put it back on in September and November due to stress and lack of motivation))

    Just get in touch if you think that I can be of assistance in your weight loss!

    Hello all. I am in similar situation, gained too much over the last year. I have logged on in the past, but with school it fell to the wayside. I am in the car alot and spend a lot of windshield time eating along with stress with school, work, and family. Looking for new friends to help with my journey and ones that I can offer support to as well. We all can achieve what we put our minds to.

    hey guys!!! sorry for such a long hiatus. I feel like all my hard work has gone to waste. i have been binging for the past two months and eating the worst food one could imagine. i became too afraid to update my diary. I am so destructive to myself. I am my own enemy. its so sad to see your hips so fat and butt become so much bigger than before. I really dread to workout at times. i don't what went wrong.
