Hey guys,
I'm new and totally excited to make a change in my life and get back in shape!!! This website is so fantastic and encouraging, I just can't wait to get connected with all of you weight loss experts
My name is Jordan and I'm 25 and live in the Bay Area, outside San Francisco. I weigh 177 and am 5'5 , which is pretty much my all time highest... I really would like to figure out how to get healthy, fit, and lose between 30-40 lbs and KEEP IT OFF!!!
Recently I was very sick, and actually dropped about 27 lbs in less than 2 months( from 174 to like 145ish) just by being extremely nauseous and unable to eat ANYthing but popsicles. I couldn't keep anything down and I was miserable, but I reallllly liked the way I looked by the end of it. People I hardly knew were telling me how awesome I looked, I could fit into all of my old clothes that had been collecting dust in my closet, and I just felt better about the way I looked. Unfortunately I was not working out at all. It was super unhealthy and I was in and out of the hospital, but about a month and a half to two months ago I finally beat the bug...
Of course my appetite returned, and I felt since I was so much lighter I could slack off with my healthy eating. I began eating like crap-In n Out, pasta, snacking late at night... and here I am a month and a half later and completely back to square one. I know it was inevitable that I gain some of the weight back since I actually started eating again, but I am so bummed that it's all back.
Sorry to go on and on, but I'm super frustrated. I start school in a month and I want to look good or better than I do now, and FEEL better. Do any of you guys have any suggestions for me? I cut out all soda and am trying to really lighten up on white carbs as well as cutting out fast food altogether. It's only been 3 days, but that's a start! I would appreciate any help or insight anyone would have for me. I'd love to have a weight loss buddy or anything as well.
THANKS SO MUCH LOVIES! <3
