hello my name is trish. i've done online dieting before on ediets but i'm kinda poor at the moment and i'm glad to have found this site. i usually do a lot better with my diet when i have a support system. i'm 5'8..my ideal weight is 160, my normal weight is about 202, i got down to 180 two years ago but struggled with my last 20 and ended up gaining it back. last year i quit smoking and started nursing school at the same time, along the way i met my boyfriend and fell madly in love . all these factors contributed to my 30 pound weight gain in a matter of months! when i graduated in mid june i was 230.5. recently i began a low carb diet but was not losing as quickly as i would like. i am now on the induction phase of atkins. my total weight loss so far is 7 pounds! i'm looking forward to chatting with you all and reaching our weight loss goals together! good luck everyone!

This is very similar to my own situation. I'm currently at about 210lbs but I am targeting 165lbs (another 5'8er here!). I am also trying to do this in the midst of being in graduate school --- and a lot of us probably know what sort of food is on offer at university cafeterias and food courts. I wish you all the luck in the world and look forward to reading about your journey.

woohoo great job losing your weight...and while in school too! that's the toughest part. i tend to stress eat..i tried dieting a few times in school but to no avail. i finally let myself just eat to get get through the last few months and diet when i was done. and thats where i'm at now. its definitely a lot easier now...and especially since i'm not sitting in a classroom for 8 hours a day. good luck to you in school and your weight loss journey!
