Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss  he biggest hurdle I have to overcome is motivating myself to exercise. I need to be held accountable.
Following any specific plan:I don't really have a specific plan, but I do plan to eat healthier, stop drinking soda and become more active.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I'm tired of being fat. I'm tired of never finding clothes that fit me. I'm tired of getting bigger and not doing anything to stop it.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I don't have any support with family. I don't have friends. All I really have at the moment is me. I'm excited to join this community and hopefully gave some great friends. I don't really know what else to write. If you want to know anything else I have a huge backstory in the introduction thread.

Following any specific plan: Low Carb
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Support and accepting that it's a marathon not a race. Extreme low cal dieting hasn't worked in the past year of trying it and then falling off the wagon/binging, so I need to try something different.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I need a buddy! Exercise Accountability. I have a hard time getting to the gym because of being "tired from work".

Pets: Technically my roommate's, but a Terrier mix named Kadyn lives with me. I'm hopeful to get a Corgi in the next few years, though.
Hobbies/Interests: Video Games (Animal Crossing, anyone?), Music, Movies/TV, and reading.
Height: 5'0"
Eye/Hair Color: Hazel eyes, brown hair frequently dyed (nearly black-brown now!)
Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: January of 2009, got really serious in August of 2012
Starting Weight: 215lbs
Present Weight: 152lbs
Goal Weight: 120lbs
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I have a very emotional and psychological relationship with food. I feel like I can control my happiness with food, and I've found it doesn't work...but that never stopped me from taking it out my sadness, with even more food. I feel like if I get through something difficult, like a bad day at work or an argument with a friend, I deserve a treat. Sometimes it can be shopping but 90% of the time, it's food. I'm still dealing with this, and I think that will be a long time coming.
Following any specific plan: "free" Ideal Protein plan (no packets or premade food except for shakes)
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I started regaining too much weight, and I launched myself into this new one with two other coworkers who are going through the same thing. I think having a partner or two will help me, but I am still looking for more support.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I'm feeling really good about this new round with myself, and I'd love to make some new friends.
