I'm 18 years old and I weigh 235lbs. I've struggled with my weight for the past two years now.

I started out at 190lbs planning to lose 30lbs or so. I tried Medifast, where all I had to do was eat their food & the weight will magically shed off. Unfortunately that wasn't what happened for me.

I got really hungry on the "diet" & this later caused me to over eat everything. So this caused me to gain so much more weight. & now, I want to lose weight the old fashioned way.

I'm trying to learn as much as I can about eating right. The nutrition guides posted here has helped me a lot. I'm starting to read food labels & I understand more about what I'm putting into my body.

I currently record my food intake on this app on my iPod & it's helped me a lot. It lists all the nutrition information & tells me exactly how many calories I have consumed everyday.

I started again on this home workout called Turbo Jam & I have feel great. It's been 2 days now & I will weigh myself again next week. Hopefully I can see the pounds shed off this time.

Turbo jam is an amazing workout, but it's really fast paced and I just can't handle that!

Good job on deciding to lose weight! It's a tough road, but I know you can do it. I was in a similar situation, I'm 19, weighed in at 229lbs. I've lost almost twelve pounds in two weeks, which i hear is "normal" because in the beginning, you lose weight faster than down the road. (Not looking forward to those plateaus!!)

I am currently working out to something called TaeBo T3. My god what a rush! lol. Once you start losing weight, you'll see the results and go, "Hell yeah!" Just keep at it, don't give up hope, and you'll be on the fast track to being healthy and happy!
