Newbie seeking life change - Let's shed 20 pounds

  • Hello All,
    I have been a lurker for a long time, now I decided to join 3FC from Turkey and take the final plunge.

    My weight story might be familiar. Slightly overweight until highschool, 20 pounds gained by university exam stress. I have graduated from university 5 years ago, yet my my belly fat seems to be attached to me more than some of my classes.

    Thankfully, I lost 9 pounds two years ago and kept it off.
    However, since then I gain-lose same 10 pounds, I need a good change from all of it.
    Currently my weight is 148 pounds and my height is 5' 3''. My goal is to reach 128 pounds and form a good exercise/eating habit that I can sustain for a lifetime.

    Any other 20somethings who would like to join in and share their story?
  • Are you me? I'm 5'4" and 150lbs. A year ago, I weighed 20lbs less than I do now but starting my job and having a sedentary lifestyle made me gain so much weight in less than a year. I am 5lbs away from what I weighed at my heaviest (in uni!) and I don't want to be like that again. I started c25k and eating better but haven't seen any changes in the month I've been doing so.
