Hello my name is Dee and i came here for support and motivation. I remember in highschool i used to be a good 220 lbs and then i lost it all because i had time and no man... haha.. and well now im 6 years older and i feel like i can't get back to the way i used to be.. I have a bf now and i an guessin he's supporting me but thing is i feel like its an insult at the same time.... i need motivation from women like me and tips on how to lose weight if you don't have the time or bundles of cash to buy tons of diet supplies

Welcome!!!

You've made a really good first step by coming here! The support here is outstanding. I wish you luck!

(And it doesn't have to cost anything to lose weight! Walking or running is free and you have to buy food either way, right? I actually find that buying more fresh/whole foods and fewer packaged fatty/sugary foods saves me a good bit of money.)

As a start, I would recommend that you just start documenting everything you eat, and I mean EVERYTHING! From a piece of gum to a soda to full meals. I use www.fitday.com for this, which is also free! I try to get in the habit of documenting everything first before I try to make changes, then I will know exactly where my problems are and therefore where I need to cut back.
