New Here!
 

Hello! Thought I'd introduce myself to the group! I'm 31 (as of April) and recently moved to my new city. I'm single and went through a rough patch at my old job and a breakup about 2 years ago that caused me to turn to food and gain about 80 lbs over those 2 years.

I'm committed to dropping all the weight I gained and reaching my "goal" weight now that my professional life is back on track. I'm hoping that as I lose weight, I'll regain some confidence and be able to "put myself back out there" in the dating scene.

I'm currently doing WW and just signed up for a new trial gym membership. I've lost 15lbs over the past month and just hit my first plateau (which is rather de-motivating :(. But I look forward to getting to know everyone soon!

:welcome: Great job on your loss so far. I know plateaus suck, but I try to think of them like practice maintenance. :) I've never done WW myself, but I know a lot of people have had great success with it. Good luck at the gym. What kind of exercise program are you working on?

The gym offers group classes and small group classes (more like personal training sessions) that focus on cardio and weights. I actually haven't been yet! I just purchased the trial membership online and plan to activate it on Tuesday since they have a reduced schedule for the holiday weekend and I want to get the most bang for my buck! I'm currently just doing long walks and taking the stairs whenever possible.

I like your approach to plateaus. Probably a healthier way of looking at it :)
