Default Newbie alert.....

Like I read in another thread....I may be a newbie here but def not a newbie to trying to lose weight.

I have battled with my weight since I can remember. At 29 years old I am def tired of the yo-yoing and the array of sizes that occupy my closet space. I am tried of being out of breath when I climb the stairs. I am tired of feeling lazy, defeated and tired. I am sick and tired of being sick and tired”. I have lost weight before; I just would not say it was successful since I am bigger now than I ever have been. It seems to put a strain on my relationships and especially that of mine and my husbands of only 1 1/2 years. Not because he wants me to lose weight, but because I am unhappy with me. He tells me I am beautiful and I wonder who he may be talking about because it sure is not me. Unlike some others I want to loose the weight for myself. To feel better about my self physically and mentally. I have seen so much support as I have been poking around this site this morning, so I am hoping that this site will help not only loose this weight but inspire me to keep it that way.

I am def a calorie counter. It helps me feel like I am in control if I can count it and see the numbers. I have created this spreadsheet to help me track my calories and my how much of those calories i burn with whichever excersise i do that day. Maybe this will also help to stay inspired and on track. Let’s just hope this works for me. (Crossing fingers). I tend to binge. I never feel full. That’s my biggest issue. The more I should not have it the more I want it. I need to leave that behind me someplace and I want to feel like I am the one in control not the hunger and weight.
I hope this place helps me with that.

Dlphnmomva!

We're all sick & tired of feeling sick & tired. You're among like-minded people here!

You may want to check out the 20-somethings or 30-somethings since you're about on that cusp. You may also want to check out the Calorie Counters area to meet others following similar programs. And if you have trouble with binging, the Chicks in Control section is a great place, too.

Again, welcome. Post wherever you're comfortable.

And if you post thirty days in a row, you get a free, large pepperoni pizza.
