in Introduce Yourself
Honestly, I've struggled with my weight my entire life. There's always been one reason or another for starting the diet: family members that think they need to tear you down to the point of losing your self worth to trying to please your boyfriend who refers to you as a "good friend" in public. I'd like to think none of those diets worked because none of them were for me. At 21, I feel I am finally ready to do this for me. A life change that I deserve. I needed to learn to love myself first and foremost. Now that I've started working on that, I'm ready to work on my physical health. I have PCOS and have been told my best chance at naturally conceiving a child is to lose weight. I don't want my size to prevent me from having a family. I also have sleep apnea. All of these reasons are why I'm here. I just want to be able to ride roller coasters again. I'll add anyone back that adds me--I'm sure we could all use the support. GOOD LUCK! <3

    Diets don't work it has to be a life style change. And you have to be ready to do it keep a positive attitude and stay focused. Set small goals there easier to reach. I will ad you as a friend.

    Well, you could lose 100+ pounds quite easily by dumping your jerk of a boyfriend ;) But seriously, you can totally do this. There is a lot of inspiration out on Facebook - I lost big and so can you, running from fat, Sunshine's Journey to 199, etc. Also, try to surround yourself with people who support you - easier said than done, I know. For starters, you could see if there is a weight loss support group by you (or something like that) on Meetup - its a great site to find like minded people. Good luck! Keep us posted on your progress.

    You can do it! Trust me, you want to do it now. I'm 42 and wish I could go back and slap my 21 year old self and say, get it together! You are going to mess up, have bad days, eat junk, etc... The key is to get right back on track. I know it's easier said then done but it's definitely possible.
