HI!!! MY NAME IS JANELLE AND IM 28! IM 5'2 170 ((OR SO MY BROKEN SCALE SAYS HAHA) I THINK IM ACTUALLY 173, BUT IM GOING OFF WHAT MY SCALE SAYS SO I CAN KEEP TRACK AT HOME. MY GOAL IS 125, MY WEIGHT THIS TIME LAST YEAR. YEP I GAINED ABOUT 50 POUNDS IN ONE YEAR. LESS THAN ONE YEAR ACTUALLY, ABOUT 6 MONTHS. ANYWAYS IT REALLY SHOWS AND IM TRYING TO SLIM BACK DOWN. IM REAL PROUD OF MY FRIEND ASHLEY (MATEOSMAMA) SHES BEEN LOOSING QUICK LIKE CRAZY! IF SHE CAN DO IT SO CAN I. SO WEVE STARTED WORKING OUT TOGETHER. ANYWASY I WENT FOR A 5 1/2 LAP WALK TODAY AND I USED A TREADMILL AND AN AB MACHINE YESTERDAY I PLAN ON USING THE AB MACHINE THROUGHOUT THE DAY. ANY TIPS OR ADVICE?? =)

Having a partner in crime is always helpful, isn't it?

Was there any particular reason for the gain in such a short amount of time?

Most importantly, you have to find an eating plan that you can stick with. Have you given much thought to that? Are you just watching portions?

Don't get me wrong, exercise is very important, but I found success when I fixed my diet.

Awesome and welcome!

Welcome to 3FC forum, you will love the 20 somethings corner we love to chat therefor are very active on here. My advice would be to join one of the free online calorie trackers such a Fitday, sparkpeople, or thedailyplate and start tracking every morsel that goes into your mouth! Good luck we are glad to have you on here

welcome to the 3FC forum!!! the support here is great!!!

You've come to the right place.

I don't know if anyone mentioned this to you but typing in CAPS is considered shouting in Internet etiquette and sometimes interpreted as rude. (Just a wee bit of grandmotherly advice.)

welcome to the 3FC forum!!!
