Hi everyone! I'm new on here, but I've already begun my weightloss journey for the past few months. I used to be decently active when I was younger...I played sports and stuff, but never was really "in shape". Right after I graduated high school (seven years ago), I gained about 20 lbs, which put me at 170 lbs and I ranged between 130-150 all throughout my teenage years. I was just depressed and was in complete denial that I had put on weight so quickly. I started becoming obsessed with learning about exercising and eating correctly. I learned a lot and would apply the information for weeks at time causing me fluctuate from 170 to 160 lbs. I could never stick with anything for more than 3 weeks at a time or maybe 2 months. For the first time about a year and a half ago...I feel through a deep depression and put me at 185 lbs (and was still in denial about it). I had a very bad relationship break-up and caused my world to crumble last year. I went to my all time low and wanted to give up on everything...I couldn't understand why I couldn't lose weight or do anything right in my life that I set out to do. I felt as if I was ugly and I needed to lose weight to improve my self-esteem. It got to the point that I realized that I have no one can make me happy but myself and I finally started exercising and eating healthy just so I can feel good on a daily basis because everything else in my life was falling apart. I know that I can only control myself and nothing else. I decided to face the reality of my unhealthy situation and take some photos of myself in my undergarments. I was needless to say extremely unhappy, but it was a wake-up call and kept me motivated. I continued to take pictures of myself everyday to keep up with my progress and it continued to motivate me. I was not trying to lose weight to make me feel better about myself anymore...I had accepted myself for who I was and knew that I am just as worthy of a human being skinny, overweight, or fat. With this in mind, I was happy with myself and just maintained a healthy lifestyle to improve myself for ME and it made it a lot easier to stick to it. I started at 184 lbs in Sept. 2006 and am now at around 158 lbs. My goal is to reach 148 lbs in the next 5 weeks to be in the "Normal" range according to my age and height. My ideal goal is 125 lbs and I'd like to reach it by the time I turn 25 years old (in the next 3 months). I have to say it feels great to know that I finally broke the 160 lbs barrier! I've been struggling with it for years and I will continue on my weightloss journey!
