A New Thing to Try

edited October 4 in Introduce Yourself
In the past 2 years I have really struggled with my weight. After going on anti-depressants and an unhealthy diet, I gained a very noticable 25lbs! I have been off of the medication for a few months now and I'm ready to make a change. I'm tired of always wearing t-shirts and the same old jeans because my other cute clothes do not fit. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and seeing something that I don't want to see. I got married 2 weeks ago, and even weeks/months before my wedding, I just had NO motivation to lose the weight that I NEEDED to lose (because my wedding dress no longer fit). I lost just enough for the dress to fit, and now it's all back. What I need is motivation, determintaion, and self-disipline to get myself where I want to be! This is the first online weight-loss communtity that I have joined. I am hoping to stick with it and I am hoping it will help and be a success!
