Hello, I just found this site and seems like a great place!

A little back story from me, I am a 33 y/o Mom of 2. My weight history is long. I have been dieting since I have been in my early teens. As probably most of you here I have tried everything good and bad to lose weight. About 5 years ago I thought that I had beaten this by losing 118 lbs with the help of orlistat and exercising.

Since then I have gained back about 55 lbs and really need to get back in gear and take control of weight again. I feel like this struggle has taken over my life and it all that I think about!!

My biggest fear is that I will pass my horrible body image and insecurities on to my children, especially my DD.

So that is a little about me. Starting the couch to 5K workouts tonight and started my food diary today. So wish me luck!!!

Lisa

Hello Lisa and

Good luck! I joined in May and have about 1 month on plan. I am following South Beach. I have lost 11 pounds and am feeling better both physically and mentally.

Hope to see you around.
