Default Feeling unstoppable!
I have never been one to diet the right way... I would do crash diets, no exercise.... live off of energy drinks, etc and every single time, the weight would come back up. I blew up to 280 pounds after a few years ago getting right below 200! Several months ago, I was trying Plexus Slim and it wasn't helping me lose weight, but it did at least keep me from gaining... I was at 262 at this point... I went on vacation for literally 5 days and I came home with a 16 pound weight gain. Everyone told me that was physically impossible and I would lose the weight and that it was most likely just water weight... Well, here I am several months later and I ended up gaining to 280. I decided enough is enough. Went to the doctor, got on Adipex to kick start my diet and 2 weeks later I am FINALLY under 270 again. I felt AMAZING this morning getting on the scale. Literally almost cried. I'm at 269. Still can't believe I allowed myself to get to this point but I feel soooo motivated. I can do this! I am hitting the gym everyday... A few months ago, I probably would have cried if someone made me go to the gym, but now I look forward to going. I never thought I'd be this person.

Unstoppable is a powerful feeling! You've done it before, you can do it again. We are here for you! You'll never be over 270 again, it's all a memory now.

Keep posting, whether it's for support, ranting, celebrating, etc. Keep up that unstoppable momentum, you got this!

That's awesome! You've certainly got the motivation and mindset, which I think is one of the biggest obstacles. You got this!
