Hi I just wanted to introduce myself. I'm Sarah I'm 20 and live in Austintown Ohio. I joined this forum because I really want to get serious about my fitness goals. I used to dance in higschool but after graduation I gained some weight. I was 5'8" and weighed 165. The summer after I graduated I met my boyfriend who was into bodybuilding. He motivated me to want to look and feel better and I started working out. I went down to 130 lbs and stayed there for a while. Over the past I'd say 4 months I've gained my weight back. I hate it but somehow I've lost my motivation. My eating habits fell apart during the holidays 
I've also discovered I have no will power to say no! A little while ago my boyfriend injured his elbow lifting. He has been out since then because everytime he trys to return to lifting he hurts himself again. He is one of those people who refuses to see a doctor so he has been waiting for his arm to heal itself...hopefully. During his time off he has re-discovered his love of the food he couldnt touch when he was lifitng. Even during his bulking seasons he was so concious of what he ate. I have found that now, when he eats fattening foods I always end up joining him. I look in the mirror and I hate what I see. I cant really be mad though because I knew that everytime I ate something bad I would regret it but I still ate whatever I wanted. I know it's a very generic new years resolution but mine was to get in shape. I have been working on my eating habits and so far so good. I've been keeping it around 1200 a day. I've slowly been getting back into going to the gym also. I had joined everydayhealth.com but I found their forums boring. I like reading and posting on forums and I feel that keeping up on forums is a good way to stay motivated. On everydayhealth it seemed like people didnt post very often. I found this site and I'm here hopefully to stay!
