I'm 23 5' even 205lbs. I really gained weight after my mom died. I've been unhappy with my weight for most of my life. My thinnest was when I was 17 and I weighed 128. I worked out every night back then. I have tried working out, the Atkins diet, cutting calories, and an all natural diet. I just can't find the motivation that I had before to keep up with most of them. I was told by a doctor not to do Atkins (it was messing with my health) but the others were my fault. I am REALLY badly wanting to at least lose some noticeable weight this year.
I am really happy that I found this sight

Hello! I'm kind of in the same situation that you are. All my life, I was naturally thin and I most of my weight within a 3-month time frame. The thing that has given me the most results is focusing more on exercise and less focus on what I'm eating. That's not to say that one can't get great results by cutting down on unhealthy foods, but focusing on exercise has been a lot easier for me than dieting. Anyway, hope to see you around the boards. I'm pretty new myself . Take care!
