Newbie over here
Hi there! It's really comforting to find people who face issues that I do in the quest for health, I'm so happy to have found this community, so here's me.

Busy busy :) GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Western Washington WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Finding and keeping my motivation and will power. I have a lot of goals and good intentions and I tend to trip up and not meet them. Some of the time it's due to losing the battle with depression and anxiety. I have PCOS as well, which, of course, makes everything a bit harder. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: This community, I think. Plus I recently graduated from college and have done a lot of growing up and learning about myself in the last couple months. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? Nothing I can think of! I'm a big nerd who would rather curl up on the couch with some tea and the 5th season of Supernatural than do anything else. And I love making new friends, so... hello :) |

I knew I had to accept that and let go of old patterns before I would even try dieting. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? I do struggle with mental health issues but am quite open about it. I'm a little socially awkward and may not always say the right thing, so don't be afraid to ask me questions or let me know if I'm out of line. New to forums, new to dieting, looking for support from an online community as I have very little in my personal life outside of my fiance. |

Moved back to MI and it's been downhill since!

Geographical location: Michigan Age: 40 Marital Status: Divorced Children/Ages: 4 Sons (21, 16, 7 & 1) Occupation: Legal Administrator Pets:Miniature Schnauzer Hobbies/Interests:Reading, spirituality, thrifting, crafting, and cooking. Height:5'4 Eye/Hair Color: Brown Eyes, Red Hair Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: This coming Sunday... February 22, 2015 Starting Weight:155 Present Weight:255 (Got on the scale yesterday for the last time for 30 days!) Goal Weight: 150 Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I moved back to MI a couple of years ago and have been faced with depression from the lack of sun, family structures and diagnosed as bipolar can't help!! The monotony makes it hard to stay focused. Following any specific plan: I am ordering the Optifast (which hopefully will be here by Saturday) and joining the gym Friday. The plane for the gym is 3-4 days a week. What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I'm ten years older with two more children and now single. I don't have the same support system that I had before. Anything else you would like to share with us: It would be really nice to meet people in the surrounding Metro Detroit area. |

ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU? Since this is the depression forum, I guess that I'm usually on wellbutrin and prozac. Unfortunately, I can't currently afford my medications, on which I was actually doing quite well keeping my weight at least level on. |

I'm scared to check GOAL WEIGHT: 145 HEIGHT: 5'5" EYE COLOR: Blue HAIR COLOR: Red/Blonde OCCUPATION: Baker and college student GEOGRAPHIC LOCATION: Michigan WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST PROBLEM IN WEIGHT LOSS: Not caving in when my boyfriend or family member wants to eat unhealthy foods. WHAT IS DIFFERENT THIS TIME THAT WILL MAKE YOU SUCCESSFUL: Making more of an effort to track my diet. ANYTHING ELSE YOU WOULD LIKE PEOPLE TO KNOW ABOUT YOU: My biggest challenge right now is my relationship and the way I've let it change my diet over the past year. A year ago I was at my goal weight and had maintained this for a year and a half. I was dating someone else at the time and living with my parents. Right before Christmas '14 I ended this relationship to begin dating my current boyfriend. I soon discovered how unhealthy his eating habits are - and how unhappy this would make me. He has never had a problem with excess weight. If anything, he needs to gain it. At 5'10" and 130ish lbs, I wouldn't expect him to understand my plight. Over the year we've spent together I've gained about 30lbs, as most of the time it has been easier to cave in and eat what he chooses rather than argue in favor of healthy (expensive) foods. It wasn't all his fault though. After awhile I started to make the same unhealthy choices, and I went into a deep depression. Over time I realized how unhappy I was in this relationship, and yet I still haven't found the courage to walk away. I miss my ex and realized months ago what I lost by leaving him, but the part of me that cares about my boyfriend has made it impossible to leave. I wish I had that strength. I just wish I had my life back. Sorry for the rambling story. I needed to write that though. |
