Hello everyone,
I am 22 years old and weigh 150 pounds. I am looking to loose about 20 pounds. I have recentley moved back home (most of the weight was gained after the move). My family is not at all interested in living a healthy lifestyle. I find that I fall of the band wagon very easily here because everyone else is eating very unhealthy foods....that I love. I have a very active life. I am in a cardio kickboxing class that I attend two times a week, have a job that requires a lot of lifting, scrubbing, cleaning and other activity, voulnteer at the humane society where I walk dogs and walk my dog for at least 20 minutes every other day or more often. I know what to eat and how much to eat but have a hard time doing it. Is there anyone out there who would like a buddy to motivate, educate, and encourage??

    I feel your pain. My family never eats healthy and there is always plenty of bad choices in the house. My mother buys snacks and sweets and puts them in a big glass jar on the table. How am I suppose to watch what I eat with Ding Dongs starring at me?
