Hello, My name is Leslie. Im 23 years old, Hairstylist.

I started eating healthier about a year ago and lost about 25 pounds and would gain and lose it back over holidays and such. I Weighed about 200 then. I currently weigh 181. ....so I gained some of the weight back But im getting back on track and sticking with it this time! I wanna be 145!!! I have to stick with it! no falling off the band wagon this time! i wanna be happy with myself and the way i look. I hate being fat!!!!

Hi Leslie,
I'm new here as well! I have the same problem with gaining weight over the holidays. I am 24 and am looking to lose about 40 lbs as well for now. I'd like to lose a little more after that but this is my initial goal... so do you have any plan of how you are going to lose it? I'm not following any type of certain "diet" yet and trying to get a feel for what is best for me....so far i'm just jogging and watching what I eat. Anyhow, welcome to the board and I hope to talk to you soon!
Jen

Well Im eatting lots of fruits and veggies and low carb foods.
And exercising about a hour 5 days a week.
Lots of girls I work with are dieting/eating more healthy lately so it makes
it easier to have a support system at work too. But I get the munchies when its slow at work, so I grab some fruit instead of hitting the vending machine!
I havent seen 170 since Highschool and I dont remember the last time I weighted 145? Maybe elementary school? lol But i would LOVE to see it!!!! and be happy with the way my body looks ya know?

btw its sooo nice to meet ya!!!!

Leslie - you sure carry your weight very well, you don't even look close to 181 to me! Good luck with your weight loss!
