Hey, I'm Samantha. I'm 21, from PA, and I'm a senior at a university in PA. I'll be attending the same school in the fall for graduate school (just got accepted last week!), and I can't wait!
I've struggled with my weight all of my life. My highest has been 180, my lowest has been 130. I've been called every name in the book throughout elementary and middle school. Although things have changed since then, the words have definitely left a permanent impact on my self esteem. I've gone to weight loss camps, joined weight watchers, but they have only been temporary for me. I know that weight loss is a life changing thing, not a fix. My whole family has had weight issues, so it has been difficult behaving when I'm back home. I'm just sick of feeling bad about myself and constantly picking at every single flaw I have.
I'm currently trying to lose weight again. I have a calorie counter on my iphone, which tracks what I eat and how many calories I burn from exercise. I started at 160, and I'm currently at 155. It's only been a month, and I feel like I'm falling off track again...and I seriously don't want to! I need motivation, and I am not getting it from anyone close to me, which is why I have joined this site. I know there will be plenty of people who have gone through what I am going through again (for the umpteenth time), and I know that you guys will be able to help keep me on track. I've already seen so many successes on here, I know I've come to the right place!
