3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community

Hello all!

A friend of mine referred this site to me today as i was *****ing about my lack of weightloss... haha... hope i'll be able to find some good information and maybe a bit of support here ;)

so, a bit about me... i've been living in Japan for the last 2 years although i am from Canada. I've been struggling with weight all my teen/adult life... at my heaviest i was probably around 250lbs, and i say probably because i did not go anywhere near the scale for a looong time when i was that heavy... i was a miserable teenager and young woman, and when i turned 22 i went on a diet with my mom where i lost about 60lbs and got down to a little under 170, which is the lightest i have ever been. i think i weighed 165 for all of two weeks! lol. anyways, after that i pretty much yo-yoed between 180-200lbs for years.

now i'm 29 and i don't know if it's because turning 30 is freaking me out or what, but i decided to do something about my weight (or try to :p ) i've been "dieting" since summer, and i lost about 7kg (scales in Japan are in kg... so annoying...) and although i'm quite proud of that and feel great about being around 175lbs for the first time in years, i've been stalling around 80kg for at least two weeks and i'm just at a loss because i'm just doing the same thing i was when i lost all those past 6kg and nothing is happening!! i love food, and for me to not be eating as much as i want, or the kinds of foods that i want, well it's hard and i often find myself thinking "what's the point??" if all this hard work isn't even yielding any result?!

anyways, so this is why i'm here... hope i find some new tricks on here! nice to meet y'all!
