Hi, I'm 28, 5'8 and currently 208lbs. I've struggle with weight most of my life. Smallest I've been was 145 in high school and biggest was 232. Well i was 252 but i was 9 months pregnant lol. Like other I go on diets and gym then weekend comes and forget about all the hard work and it just becomes a vicious cycle of never losing weight. I'm motivated to break that cycle. I have the motivation to go to the gym but food is life and that's the hardest part.

    Karolyna, I know that struggle bur if you are motivated to break the cycle, you have to start seeing food as a source of fuel and not pleasure. I know it's hard. I love sweets! But I am so over being overweight. I gained 50 pounds when I was pregnant but I cant use that ad an excuse anymore because my son is almost 6. I am down to join you and De51r3e.

    Karolyna, I have struggled with the ups and down of weight gain and loss so much. I have gained 80 pounds this last year and the year before that I lost 70 pounds. I am not a women and can't blam it on anything like pregnancy but can only blame myself. I had one of my friends die from cancer last year and the reason I stopped calorie counting and working out. Thought whatever if nothing matters then whatever. Now I feel horrible and fat, so bad plan lol. I know what it takes to lose the weight but am looking forward to doing it with some friends this time. Friend me if you want ;)
