HI my name is Jamie I am 240 lbs and I need to lose about 65 to 70 lbs. I have always been skinny I am 5"11 and it wasn't until I had kids that I kept my weight on. I have been yoyo dieting for about 6 years and now I am finally doing it right, eating less and exercising. I need all the motivation possible because I always seem to give up after a while but I want my life and my body back!!!!

    Jamie,

    You are at the right place. There is no other lasting way to lose weight and keep it off, than changing the way you eat forever. That may sound depressing, but it can be liberating. You don't have to worry about your weight nearly as much when you know you are not going back to your old eating habits. So, jump in: consume less calories and burn more calories! Your goal is attainable. Good luck.
