Hi everyone!

My name is Jessie, I'm 29 years old. I have gained weight while I was in a terrible relationship. Plus I have three medicines I take now and all have weight gain side effects. One even stats 25% of people taking it will gain 10 lbs or more. Being that I was already in a relationship I didn't care if I gained extra weight. I'm now single and went to Florida for a summer and lost some weight! Riding bikes, jogging, and going to a gym. I got back home to in Virginia and lost motivation no good places to jog or ride bikes and no free gyms. So I gained the 13lbs I lost back. Recently looking at youtube videos seeing peoples accomplishments and before and after pictures it has got my motivation back and I now know I don't have to go outside to exercise all the time there is a lot I can do in a house even without equipment. I was just using excuses. I no longer drink sodas I haven't in three weeks, I drink plenty of water and do cardio 30 mins a day, then lift dumbbells in reps. I went from 2 push ups to 20 in three weeks!I I have lost 8 lbs and feel much healthier ) and it's not as hard as I thought especially when you get into a routine. I want to be healthier for myself plus maybe find another girlfriend. Any advice you can give me in keeping motivated and what to eat and not will be great.
