I found this website and think it is absolutely great- to look at the pictures and read the stories is such an inspiration- you guys are AMAZING!!! the way people have transformed themselves really is a great motivator for me and I am really hoping that this time I will actually lose the weight i NEED to lose. I think holding myself accountable and having this journal will be very beneficial to me- so any encouragement is welcomed!

Now a bit about myself and my situation :) I have never been a small girl by any means, but I also never was huge. I was pretty much around the 145 mark in high school (im 5'4 and 24 now). In college I put on some weight, and my weight really yo yo'd all different directions. At my smallest i was 135, at my heaviest i was 180. I remember crying stepping on the scale seeing i was 180 lbs- and then I did weight watchers and lost about 30 lbs, which was great!!

Well in the past few years I just have really put on a lot of weight- honestly im not even sure how it happened, but it certainly has. I'm up to 212 :( I really feel uncomfortable in my own skin- looks certainly im not happy with but even just the way i FEEL in my body is all wrong. I have been battling trying to lose weight for the last year, but I have not been able to commit to anything and I keep going off track and eating almost worse than I was before!!! So tomorrow is going to be the first day of my new life!!! I would really appreciate anyone who would want to be a weight loss buddy, itd be great to have someone in the same boat. And Ill update this a lot, i think having something holding me accountable (Even if its myself writing on a website hehe) will help me. Ill post a picture when I get my camera working- any tips are welcomed!!!
 
Welcome to your diary. I am sure you can get to your ideal weight.

I suggest just making yourself do something ( walking, and eating better if you don't already ) for a month or so, after it becomes a habit it is so much easier :D at least it was for me. You just have to make yourself do it and get into the routine.

Best of luck!
 
thanks for the response!

that is what i am doing right now.. trying to eat healthier (it shouldnt be hard, i have been eating pretty atrociously lately) and getting back to the gym- which i actually like to do when i get my lazy butt there!


Today was my first day trying this... and id say it went reasonably well- for a first day.

did well at breakfast:
one light and fit yogurt w/raspberries

lunch: 2 peices of tuna sushi, salad with green beans, avocado and chicken

dinner: (i didnt do so great here :( had some falafel with pita and hummous. not terrible food, but i ate a bit more of it than i should.

all in all though, it was pretty good for me. I feel good that I didnt eat anything really bad and excited to keep going!!
