Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Not a lot of support/ friends to talk about it with.

Following any specific plan: I followed weight watchers on my own..didn't join or go to any meetings. Now I just keep a close eye on my food intake and try to exercise a lot.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I am finding a lot harder this time....since gaining back the tiny bit of weight to stick to what I did before. I've lost this weight already and I really know what I am supposed to be doing..just finding it a lot harder.

Anything else you would like to share with us: I've already reached my goal and maintained for almost a year...up a few lbs now and would like to get rid of em.

Starting Weight: 330

Goal Weight:??

Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: An unsupportive family and low income. It's cheaper to eat like crap.

Following any specific plan: Lifestyle change for me and my family. Making healthier meal choices for the whole family including more veggies and fruit, less prepackaged meals, less take out/fast food, drink water, moderation, etc.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I just have a good feeling. I have been fully engulfed in it for the last 2 days and it feels so good. I am learning a lot! I am finding support and trying to ignore negativity. Instead of making excuses I am making the right choices. Today for example, the Wii wouldn't play my workout DVD so I tried the Wii Fit and the balance board was out of batteries! So I took my happy butt to the store and I bought batteries, came right back and did 41 minutes of Wii Fit! Every other time I would have given up.

Anything else you would like to share with us: I am quite excited to be here. I have no goal weight because I wanna be healthy and comfortable. If that's a size 16, I'm okay with that. If that is 150, even better! Anyways.

Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: 1/4/10

Starting Weight: 157

Present Weight: 156.4

Goal Weight: 99lbs!

Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: My all-or-nothing way of going about things. Weightloss has to be my number one priority, or else I'll drop it like a hat.

Following any specific plan: Calorie counting. Juggling calories. I want my weekly average to be 1500-1600 per day. So most days I eat 1200, and then I have a cheat day to catch up.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Last time I only ate 1200 calories and lost almost 20lbs. But then I platued for at least two months, and slowly phased out of dieting.

Anything else you would like to share with us: I'm cheeeeap!
