So, hello /bow /bow. My name is Tara, and im 23.4 years old ^__^
I moved to Florida in March 2008 where i gained 40lbs, waiting for immigration to approve me (Australian). Also, didn't help, my husband is a skinny-fast-food-eating-lover.

Iim currently 223lbs from the 189 i was in late 2007. I've always been chubby; and im told alot, i dont look as big as i weigh. 189 was the smallest i remember being, which wasnt terribly small to begin with, lol.

For the past 2 months (at least), i've been doing all the Turbo Jam, with no results. And for the past 3 weeks i've been adding ChaLean Xtreme to the mix (weight training); i've been loosing and gaining the same 2lbs for 2 weeks, and a tiny 3 inchs under my ribs (no loss anywhere else). I dont eat much, eat under the calories i should be; and avoid indulging.
But with no loss, im at a loss; so here, i'd like some real answers from all of you, support to help me along my way to a healthy life-style. This isnt just an image thing to me, this is a health thing.

So thank you for having me, and i look forward to talking with all of you.

Welcome!!

I'm by no means an expert but maybe it isn't how many calories you're eating but what you are eating. It is also possible that you are not eating enough...I know if your body doesn't get enough food...it goes into starvation mode thinking it has to hold on to everything and you won't lose any weight then.
