Thought I should introduce myself...

  • So I am new to all of this. I am starting my first real diet tomorrow and it scares me. For so long I have thought I could take the weight off if I only had more time, less stress, was done with school, fill in whatever excuse there is and I have thought of it. I am living with my sister for a few months and we have decided to join LA weight loss together to help provide support to each other. I guess at this point, I feel like the more people I reach out to and talk about the diet with, it will help keep me "honest," does that make sense? Anywa, I have come across this site before and thought it was a great idea but never got around to trying it out.

    So I guess I am here and I look forward to having any additional support there is out there.

    I am almost 29 and I am 190lbs. I have noticed that with each year it gets harder to lose weight and far easier to just put on an extra 5 lbs. I am starting this diet to keep my weight under control and try to learn healthy eating habits now. I still don't even know how much I am "supposed" to lose. I tend to be that person that wants to fit into clothes better rather than see a number on the scale. I feel like I am rambling....hope this makes sense to someone.

    I guess I will post more as I get use to site.
