My name is Laura. I was a soccer player for nine years. I tore three ligaments in my knee back in 2012. Since then I've found it difficult to stay in shape. I began making it a habit of eating way too much, and being way too lazy using my knee pain as an excuse. I'm over it. I've gained 20+ pounds I'm the past few years (10 of those I gained in the past five months). I would now consider myself to be thirty pounds overweight. I really want to do it this time. I want to lose this weight to be a better me!

    Hi Laura- in a similar boat to you. I've been on and off MFP since 2012 and I saw today that I have gained 15 lbs since 2012. Now I need this to be the last time I "restart" and I need to go on with my life

    I know it. I just keep telling myself literally.. I am the only person keeping me from doing what I need to do. I'm the only one to blame if I don't. And I've started to realize, I don't want to be the one responsible for allowing myself to be self conscious and unhealthy for the rest of my life. And I mean geeze... it's just about eating a little better, and being a little more active. We all make it out as something that's incredibly difficult, but it doesn't have to be! We are all capable!
