Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Sticking to the plan and not cheating.
Following any specific plan: I loosely follow weight watchers, but I switch up calories and points allowed every day. I also do lots of weight training.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I've finally decided to do this for me! I also have two tropical vacations planned for march and june!
Anything else you would like to share with us: as Bella said, I am looking for other girls around my height and weight to become friends and support each other.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I'm going to California next year!
Anything else you would like to share with us: I wish everyone the best in their journey and hope you all achieve what you are aiming for. Oh and I turn 29 on the 26th so i'm getting dangerously close to being a 30 something!

Starting Date of Weightloss Journey: 8/15/2009
Starting Weight: 135
Present Weight: 113
Goal Weight: 108 -- but a much more toned 108!
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: I have a few of them... depression meds, HUGE sweet tooth, binging when stressed, my parents' way-too-delicious cooking, being friends with young men who wolf down pizzas like no one's business...
Following any specific plan: primarily veg'n, trying not to eat dessert/refined carbs, smaller portions/intuitive eating, exercising instead of eating when I'm bored and antsy
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I've never successfully lost weight in the past (true story) so this is probably my first long-term attempt! I'm serious about trying to find a workout/diet strategy that allows me to maintain a healthy, thin figure.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I have mild PCOS and depression, and really unhealthy fat storage on a small frame, so even though I have a low starting weight and goal then most girls here, I'm definitely facing a lot of the same problems... and could always use more motivation to work out. Best of luck to everyone here!
