Hello all!
Almost exactly three years ago I started a diet and lost 60 lbs in about a year. But now I've gained 30 of those pounds back. I've been telling myself I want to reverse the weight gain, but it's been an uphill battle. I'm 21 years old, 5'4'', and 222 lbs. I've started and stopped diets in the last year and a half, but the only consistent thing has been weight gain. I've got a lot of responsibility to take - I'm a grazer, and I don't work out like I should - but I definitely need some support from people who are successfully losing weight but KNOW how hard it is.
My fiance is 26, eats like a total pig, and weighs far less than me. He's a great man, but since he's got an awesome metabolism, he doesn't quite get that I can't eat the same way he does without paying for it. We live together, and it's hard to eat healthy with him. (Not that it's his fault...but it IS more difficult now that we live together).
I am terrified that I will keep gaining the weight back, and I want desperately to LOSE about 50 more. 170 is big to some people, but I know I would look and feel much better at that weight (and I'd even be a few pounds lighter than my man!).
I'm really looking forward to being a part of this community - it looks full of committed, thoughtful people!
Here's to eating right and feeling good!
