Default Its best to start at the beginning

Hey all! My name is Andrea and I’m 21 from good ol NJ. It seems I’m back a the beginning again. Around 6 years ago I weighed my heaviest of 240 lbs and went on a diet and lost around 85lbs. At 5’11, 155 fit me well. It took me about a year or so to lose the weight, but I did it. About a year later I moved to college and gained back my freshman 15, but at 170 I still looked good. I stayed that weight until a little over a year ago when it started creeping up. After a few months it was 180, which I can live with I mean I still looked okay. Yeah my clothes were really snug but I just went out and bought clothes for a 13/14. Well then my life basically fell apart and I just stopped caring about weight and that’s when I blew up. So now here I am at 215lbs. Ughh, but I’ve decided to start over again. I went on the south beach diet 3 days ago because it has worked for me in the past before. In college I would go on it for a bit lose like 10 pounds and then go off. I’m pretty excited about getting fit again, and look forward to using the support of this forum.

Welcome Too Hectoc!!

3FC is a great place to share ideas, get support and stay motivated!

I don't know much about South Beach since I'm currently on WW! But in any case, if it worked for you in the past i'm sure you'll do great!!!

Best of luck!!!

Welcome to 3FC, Andrea! Since you've been so successful in the past, I imagine you won't have too much trouble losing the weight again. Stick around once you reach your goal, though, and join the Maintainer's group - they'll help you stay at your goal weight once you've reached it.

Congratulations on making the choice to get healthy! I agree it is exciting, knowing that you're taking the first step to getting fit again. It can do a complete 180 on your mindset, especially when you start to see the weight come off. I'm sure you'll be able to achieve success again, since you had the motivation to be successful in the past. Best of luck!!
