in Introduce Yourself
Hey, my name is Cheri and I am 26 years old. I have fought with my weight my whole life. I have gone from 205lbs to 150lbs and now I am back up to my heaviest at 218lbs. I am sick of it and it's time for me to get in shape. I am hoping that this will do it for me.

Any success stories would be great for encouragement!

And does anyone else blog on here?

    There are LOTS of success stories... I just started a few weeks ago... and getting off the ground is tough... BUT hook up with a group of friends to support you and set S.M.A.R.T Goals...work the tools that are here and focus on creating healthy eating habits, and increasing your activity level and before you know it YOU will be a success story... GOOD LUCK... stay disciplined and YOU can become the example we all follow.

    just stay motivated, stay focused on what you want, and learn how to have self control. yes, you can have a donut, but not the whole dozen. no, you should not eat until you have to unbutton your pants, you need to learn to stop before that point...

    I am in the same boat! I have finally had enough. I'm 5'7 and 209 lbs. My highest was 215! I would like to get down to 150-160! I have a long journey ahead! You can add me if you like, we can do it together :) Good luck!

    My starting weight was 214 and I think I was in denial about how fat I really was for a long time. I have always been "heavier" but people always told me I carried it well. I am not making this change for me and myself only! My goal weight is about 150 also! Feel free to add me!

    Hey girl. I am in the exact boat and I am sick of it! Today is day one and I sure hope I can do something to make a change. I desparately need to make a change. I am 216 lbs and 5'6". I have fought my weight all of my adult life. I feel awful. I am married and have two children. I want to be a good role model for my children and I want my husband to be attracted to me. He says he is but in my mind-how can he be-physically. So, here I am!

    I started in May of last year to lose 100 lbs. I am now down over 50lbs and feel wonderful. I was down 60, but had a little bit of a slip up. The key is if you fall off track, to pick yourself back up and get back at it as soon as you see it. You can do it and will if you are ready. You can add me as well. I blog more on my Facebook fan page, more than I do here. If you want to check it out you can: https://www.facebook.com/LovingInFearlessEvolution

    I have a wonderful support group at home and online. It is so important. You go girl! You can do this, it is going to be tough, but keep at it and you will achieve what you set your mind to.
