Hi all! My name's Jessica, and I live in Alabama, US.

I'm a college student and am trying yet again to get a handle on the horror show that is my relationship with the scale.

I have never successfully lost weight in my life, instead just slowly gaining. I went from a child beauty queen to an obese woman. It's all very depressing, I know, but I am trying to turn it around!

I should also mention a couple years ago, I got thrown out of a golf cart and tore my achilles tendon. Since I didn't have insurance, I couldn't get it looked at by a doctor, so it still causes me problems. For example, I can't run very far without the bad leg cramping terribly. Athough I am happy to report before I started trying, I could only run a few paces before the cramping, and now I can do 30 second sprints without too much pain. Someday I WILL run again, though!

I'm not looking for a thigh gap or anything; I just want to be healthy enough to get pregnant and live a long life.


So that's me, and I can't wait to get to know all of you!

Welcome Jessica!

There are lots of forums on here asking about different exercises to do due to different injuries! Good luck with everything and I hope to see you around!

Hi Jessica, I'm new too!

I'm starting with diet slowly and will add exercise later so maybe that's a starting point for you. And could you swim?

I do have access to the school natatorium for the next few months before I graduate, but the thought of wearing a swimsuit is appalling...
