Hello everyone. I'm a 27 year old lady from the south. I have some weight that I need to lose like the rest of you! I finally got the guts to weigh myself on February 17th and weighed in at 165lbs. I'm 5'9 1/2. I've never been this big, somehow managed to pack on 10lbs in Nov/Dec. I blame it on stress, fast food and not working out at all. I really want to get to 130-140lbs as soon as possible. I miss my old pants. So far I've cut the fast food out! Joined a gym 2 weeks ago. Wish me luck. Would love to make some friends.

    Keep your records honest .. When you eat ....eat slow you find you will eat less...

    Yes I'm always trying to tell myself not to gorge!

    I get a book out to read when I eat, helps a lot, although not very social!

    Thanks for the support

    Wow, thank you guys! I didn't even expect to get a reply. Thank you for the advice too. I don't really have too much of a problem with over eating. I just had a problem with ONLY eating fast food and sitting on my butt. I really let myself go! =( I want to look great for the summer and never let this happen again. I know for my height that I'm not that bad but I'm not happy. I'm definitely not in any danger if I lose 20lbs or so. Not sure why some of my friends are giving me such a hard time about wanting to lose weight. I mostly want to be stronger, I get out of breath too fast for a 27 year old. I know 40 year olds that could run laps around me.
