Hi all!

My name is Kaylin, I am 31 years old. 5'2 212 lbs. I have been big since I was 12, I got up to a size 18 in high school and then I was put on medication for ADHD for the end of my 11th grade year to help with math. durning that summer I lost 40 lbs. I dropped to a size 10 and that made my senior year amazing. I made more friends and had my first serious boyfriend. When I turned 21 I got married and we got pregnant on the honey moon! I ate everything that didn't eat me first. By the end of the pregnancy I was back to a size 16. Ten years and two more kids brought me back to an 18. Being ADHD I have always had trouble finishing what I start. I didn't finish college, quit hair school 2 months before I finished that. Every time I start a diet it last no more than a week and is nothing but a money sink. I am tired of failing! My husband and I were talking about what I would get for mothers day. It was supposed to be a bag of bath and body works. Last minute I changed my mind. Instead I asked for a treadmill. He got it for me the wednesday before mothers day. I have walked on it every day since. I took off mothers day and then this past sat and sun. We are away from home on a trip and I have even gone to the hotel gym and walked on their treadmill each morning. I can't let this one go. I have to change my life this time. I am starting online school for medical billing and coding in july and that will take me a year. I am giving myself the same amount of time to lose the weight. I need a change, I need to show my daughter she can be proud of her mother. My husband got a Harley and I told him I won't ride untill I am much smaller cause I feel it's unsafe for him to have the added weight. I haven't seen any results so far, but right after I started I also started my lovely time of the month so I am hoping after that is done I will see weight loss. I would love support and friends while I do this. I would love to hear from anyone with a similar story.

Hey can't even begin to tell you how similar is my story. I'm tired of paying dietician and dropping out of every diet plan.. Don't last more than 3 days that too with cheating. But I'm tired of looking like a looser in front of my own self and a fool in front of every one! Just wanna make it happen this time.. Have promised my self to go off this mode of 'eat what u want and when u want'..

Hi Brooks welcome! How much are you wanting to loose we are at the same height and weight I am right around 215 (I am scared of seeing the actual number) hopefully we can keep in touch and track our excersize and eating habits and we the weight come off.

I hope to lose 70 in the end, get back to a 9-10. I am happy there. I don't have to be thin I just want to look healthy and be able to wear what I want. Of course a 20 lb loss will be a big deal. I haven't seen under 200 in about 6 years.

I know you can do it. My lowest ever was 159 and I felt GREAT I am aiming for that weight again. I was around a size 10- 12 i still have some clothes and I want to fit back into them! I know being in the 100 would be awesome. If we stick to our routibes we should be there in about a month and a half

I started this year at 253.2 lbs. I am 5'6" i have found calorie counting to be a big help. I have lost 28 lbs this year. That's great that you have a treadmill and a supportive husband. I find it's been nice to walk with my daughter.

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
