Hello everyone.
I'm brand new here and I thought I would start a thread and say a bit about myself. I'm 21 and at the moment 5' 5" I weight 234 pounds. ( weighed myself yesterday). When I was 18 and finished high school I was my highest ever. 266 pounds.
I started working out with my aunt the summer after graduation and lost 40 pounds. I was about 225. Then I hit "the wall". no weight loss for about a month. I was so upset at myself that I quit my workout. Then my Aunt got surgery to shrink her stomach and went from 340 pounds to 130 pounds. So she no longer went to the gym with me and I never did like working out alone.
So after I hit the wall, I gained 10 pounds back during the next year. I went through a depresion last thanksgiving when my fiance called off the wedding and broke up with me. It was nothing big because we had hardly started any plans, but still.. I was.. upset. I droped to my lowest I've ever remember being. 220
But then things got better in january, and now I'm back to 234 pounds. I would LOVE to see a 1 in front of my weight... 199 pounds.. anything as long as it is a 1 lol. My main goal is 170 pounds.. not too thin. but enough for curves. ^_~.
I'm glad that I found this site. I've been looking around and it's great how much support there is here.. that's something I really need.
Welcome to the forums. I agree support is a big thing. I have slacked since I haven't had support in a few months. There are really some great threads to join.
Welcome Sakai, you are making the right decision to join here and learn lots of valuable information and get a lot of great support. By the way, I weighed 234 when I started and it can be done. I'm still trying to lose a little more, and it is slow for me right now. But, I will not give up. Good Luck on this journey and we are all here for you.
Gah Thanks for the welcomes everyone ^_^ I'm so glad to have found this place. It's great to be in a forum where everyone has the same goals, issues and problems.
