Hi everyone! My name is Alexis and after browsing this site, I was encouraged to be a part of such a positive group of people! :)


I have struggled many years with my weight but I'm ready and encouraged to take control. My freshman year in high school, I was 230lbs and lost 60lbs by my sophmore year. I gained it all back my freshman year in college. :confused: BUT after defeating the depression and lack of motivation from gaining it back, I'm ready to make the changes in my life for good.

I just joined Gold's Gym and plan on exercising regularly (5 times a week), eating salads, drinking water, and eating apples and fruits when I have cravings. I'm a big "sweets person" and it's going to take a lot of self control, but it's encouraging to think about the fact that I've done it before and with the willpower, can do it again!

I look forward to all the encouraging posts and hope to learn and motivate each other within the forum. Thanks for reading and have a blessed day!

I would like to lose 70lbs by this summer. (6-7months) I would be very content with being about 160lbs for my height and shape. It's a flattering size for me but I would still want to continue losing. But my ultimate goal is 160. Congratulations on your new goal to losing!;)
 
I want to lose all the weight by the end of July. I'm only doing a diet as a lifestyle change. i'm not going on atkins, or weight watchers or anything. I just want to eat healthier and exercise as a lifestyle change.

good luck to you. people in the forum are great motivators.
