hello again mfp,

not my first time using the site but feeling quite overwhelmed

Previously I went from 200ish to 142. I threw out my scale and lived a healthy lifestyle for a year.

Then let my boyfriend move in and that was terrible, in the following months I got on mental meds that made me gain weight like nobodys business.

So here I am 5 3, 172 pounds and not thin anymore and technically obese. WOW

Im single again, live near the beach and when my lease is up mid summer and determined to move onto the beach. I need to get my act together, being ashamed of my body sucks.

So add me, message me. I need support especially while I get back into the habit of logging calories and giving a rats butt about how long I excercised.

    I totally feel you about being ashamed of your body. I'm in the same boat. Let's motivate each other!
    That's awesome that you lost the 60 lbs before. You can get back to your goal weight. Just takes time.

    A little bit about me. I've gained about 25 lbs in the last 3 yrs. My weight will yo-yo like crazy. I will do great and lose up to 8 lbs, then start slacking again. I'm sick off it. I went from playing soccer 3 days a week, in addition to doing circuit training at home 2-3 times a wk, to nothing!!! So time to get my muscle tone back!

    My life's dream is to live close enough to hear the waves. ;-) I LOVE the ocean!

    Friend request sent. You did it before, I have no doubt you can do it again.

    I'd certainly like to be some part of your journey to health. I'm just an old fat *kitten* that waited until he was 330 pounds, diabetic, hbp, volcano blasting cholesterol, neuropathy, bad knees, hips. A pig on a couch with a bag of Lays. That was me.

    I managed to struggle down to 271 but it seems there is no way to move forward. My eating habits are horrid and my A1C hasn't been less than 10 in like 10 years. Basically, I'm going to blow up one day.

    So, another long story for later on how I ended up on the Unicity Transformation Program.

    Stress is the biggest evil in this battle. If I can do anything to help you, it will only help me. I'm a great listener and I've lived long enough to know a thing or two I think.

    thanks for the opportunity
    Tyce

    Everyone has told me most women end up like their mothers. Mine is massive, on tons of medications, cant feel her feet, cant walk, has diabetes, cant cut her own toe nails because they hurt so much. Im scared to let this get any more out of hand. I don't think I could live my life like that.

    Good luck to you! Remember, it's a marathon, not a race...

    Liferlight how is it going? We are too hard on ourselves and need to be positive. The weight is not an extension of the beauty of our souls or hearts.. remember that. I too am on Transformation!

    lookpretty...I *just realized* after I posted, that you had written this almost a year ago. Knowing this, I'm hopeful that you were able to hook-up with some good people and were able to be good to you. :)
