Hello all,
I am an 18 year old college student who has been desperately insecure for years on end. When I was beginning high school, I weighed in at 135 lbs and still thought I was fat and just wanted to lose weight. Since then, for the past 4 or 5 years, it's been a constant on my mind. I have since grown a couple inches and gained a decent amount of weight and am so desperate to lose it. I am so secure with myself as a person, and the only thing that is missing is being confident and happy with my own body.
I am 5'5 and 165 lbs as of today. I have tried to lose weight so many times on end, sometimes I was successful and lost 7 or so, but I always plateau and gain the weight back. I can never EVER get over that hump and this time is my time. I am going to do it. I need to do this for myself.
I read somewhere that joining a forum is a refreshing way to connect with and motivate others as well as receive said motivation. I figured I would give it a shot.
My school has a dietician that I've been meeting with and I have been feeling okay in that regard. I'm just stuck and feel like I have no idea what I'm doing at the gym sometimes. I just want someone to tell me what to do and I swear I'll do it. I just rarely feel like I had a great workout and don't know what else to do.
Honestly, any tips in general are greatly appreciated. I am very excited for this and to bring you along on my journey!
Best regards,
Madalyn
