Hi. My name is Tracie, and I just joined a few minutes ago. Several years ago I lost 120 pounds, most of which I have regained. I saw some 'skinny' pics of myself today, and became disgusted with what has happened. I am watching a program about genetics and obesity. They say genetics contributes about 40%. The problem I have with that is that I did it before, I can do it again. I am just looking for some buddies this time. I would LOVE to get back into all the old clothes in my closet.
AAAaaaaaahhh!! I just watched that too...on TLC? Supposedly we are supposed to be designed this way because our ancestors needed to to survive? Well, I do live in a cold climate, but I can put extra clothes on!! UGH. It IS an uphill battle, no?
Tracie!
I just found this forum last month and it has really helped me stay on track.
You may find the challenges a great way to help you stay motivated.
Getting in shape is hard work but it is so worth it.
Good luck!
