Good luck on your 150lb goal thats amazing in one yr!

Why do I bother? I can answer that myself...because I want to be healthier. But all I'm doing is torturing myself because no matter how hard I try I gain, gain, gain. Every week I am at least a pound heavier than the week before. Even if I exercise until I drop and eat right, still I gain.
Maybe I SHOULD check into the weightloss surgeries to see if any of them would be a good fit for me. I can't seem to lose the weight on my own. No matter what I try, I gain. I'm tired....I have been trying to lose this weight since I was in my mid-20's and I have only succeeded in quitting numerous times and adding more weight to my already existing weight.
Tried just about every weightloss program out there and still I haven't lost the weight and kept it off. I don't think I am EVER going to lose this weight...0 -

Not as much as I wanted but still progress. Had a week with lots of extra higher calorie food from a BBQ. On a happy note - just make my first batch of beef jerky in my new electric smoker.1 -
