Hi everyone!! I have found myself just getting bigger and bigger and bigger. Frequently, I feel like a cross between Elvis Presley and Violet who eats the gum in Willie Wonka. I am fed up with being single because I'm too ashamed to date.... fed up with being too tired on my days off to do the things I used to love, like hike and shop...and fed up with turning down social invites because I feel too fat and ugly and don't fit into my clothes....and just fed up with being uncomfortable.

My plan: I'm joining Orange Theory fitness (anyone familiar??) and starting their weight loss challenge on 01/16 that lasts for 6 weeks. I plan on going to a session 4 times/week. I am also splurging on a meal plan that delivers all meals for 5 days every sunday. I am hoping if someone just tells me what to do, and I follow along, something will happen.

I am up to 245lbs. That is a 60 pound weight gain in 4 years. I am hoping to shed 25 pounds in the first 6 weeks. I have PCOS, like many other obese females, and I am praying that dropping some estrogen laden pounds, I can control my symptoms.

Anyone out there hitting it hard right now?? Experience with Orange Theory or meal prep services? Anyone at all that just wants a buddy to check in on them and support one another through this journey? It's hard. So hard. I'd be happy to have a friend along the way. I think my other friends are tired of hearing about my latest and greatest diet fad that I never seem to succeed with.

Cheers to a new body and a new life!

Hi I just said enough is enough yesterday and started a program that is called the Miracle Diabetes cure. It s not a crazy fad diet tho I know the title sounds like it. It is a low carb approach meant to keep sugar levels stable throughout the day. It gradually adds carbs.
For years I have been overweight but it seems to be creeping up quicker than before and have to nip it in the bud. My problem is I don t think I am as big as I am until I see my self in a full length mirror or go shopping for clothes.
I don t have experience with your program but would love to have a buddy to help with my accountability. My family knows but I am not sharing with all my friends.
So yesterday was my 1st day and at the end of the day I almost gave up thinking I had eaten too much even tho I did not go off program. My thoughts were "what the heck I'll start tomorrow when I have all the foods I need in the house". That crazy thinking usually gets me every time but not last night. So I am off now to the store to get some on program food.
Have a good day.
