Hello! My name is Gina. I'm 25 years old, currently weigh 167lbs and am not new to weight loss. In early 2008 I went on my first diet ever and went from 148 to 118 and maintained for about 5 months. For some reason I cracked and I gained every single pound back plus an extra 20! It's horrible.

My goal right now is to get back to 148 and eventually a more healthier weight of 125-130lbs. I never thought I would gain the weight back but here I am and I'm ready to get rid of it for good!

Hi Gina!
Sounds like you're ready to get started with determination - the support you need is here.

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, inspired and entertained! There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.

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 a few months myself, 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 cheating or giving up.

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

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
