new to this and looking for friends for support

  • hello everyone my name is april and i am new to this. i am currently living in gresham oregon and dont have very many friends. well i am at my most top weight of 250 and it kills me. i hate being like this. during my senior year of high school i was like 125 and loved it. i loved going into any store and fit into anything and now i cant. i started to gain my weight when i had my son 3 years ago and no matter how hard i try i cant loose anymore. i wish all the time that i can but i just cant and i HATE IT.
    but if any of you have any advice on how i can loose it i would very much love it. thanks hope to hear from some of you soon.

  • Hi April

    What types of plans have you tried in the past? And what kind of exercise are you planning to do?

    Sometimes it takes a while to find the strategy that works best for you, so don't give up -- you'll find plenty of support here!
  • i have tried atkins and taking all salt outta my diet and all sugar. i have even tried the trimspa diet. then for exercise i tried some cardio stuff but that became a little to hard for me. but i want to start up tybo. even though that is cardio i really want to start that.
    thanks

  • Hi April and welcome! You CAN lose the weight! You just have to find what works for you and get the motivation and right inspiration to do it!

    I do taebo for my exercises and I love it!! I would recommend it! I do the bootcamp series right now. It's so much fun! You can find a lot of support and make friends here! I started exercising and watching what I eat at my highest weight which isn't too far from yours 240! I've lost 2 pounds and I credit that to coming here and actually sticking to it There's also clubs here that can help. I frequent the 100lbs Club most

    If you would like to make a friend for the support you want and motivation then you can count on me! Good luck and hope to get to know you more!
