It was my first year of college and I had gained 20 pounds going from 140 to 160, by the time I was in my second year of college around xmas time I began working out doing Carmen Electra video's (yes I did Carmen video's they were fun lol) and then going for a 20 to 30 minute jog afterwards. I'd say I worked out 3 to 5 times week and I got to my goal back down to 140...

So here I am 5'5, 185 pound and 24 years old and i'm at my heaviest weight i've ever been. Now the worst part is of course I know what I weight but to have everyone else around me tell me how fat I've gotten has become really annoying. I wouldn't even really say i'm fat I would say I'm chubby but hearing it over and over again whether it's from family or just rude people i've had enough and it's time to go back down to my fabulous weight of 140 and feel great about myself again and fit into my skinny jeans.

I've been on the site for a few days now but I figured i'd make myself an introduction.

Hi MiZTaCCen!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. Try the 20 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a must for motivation.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals - here's to getting back to your fabulous 140 you,
Lee
