I’m not quite sure how I came across this site, but I’m SO glad I did. I think I was searching for a support group of young women around my age because I finally understand the importance of having someone/something for the sake of accountability.

True to my taurean nature, I get something in my head and I go for it!! When I want something I want it and nothing will get in my way. I’m determined and motivated… for about two seconds. Then I lose steam so quickly, and like the snap of a rubber band it’s almost as if I’m propelled in the complete opposite direction. It’s almost embarrassing because in the beginning I’m so ready for the challenge of weight loss. I hate failure yet that’s been my only experience.

My name is Jayden and I’m 22 years old. I’m currently 211 lbs which is eleven pounds lighter than my highest weight two months ago. (I don’t think I’ve ever told anyone my weight before. Eeek!) I currently have no one in my life to talk about my weight struggles with so I’m hoping to find some buddies here. Every time I begin to talk to a friend or someone close to me they just don’t seem to get it. It’s like trying to describe the color blue to a blind person. I want to get to know people who have similar stories and can freely share their struggles/successes so I can feel comfortable doing the same.

Sorry that my introduction was a novel, but I’m happy to be here and excited to meet all of you.
