Hmmm… Where do I start…
I have been overweight my whole life but never obese as I am right now. My name is Regina, I am 25 years old, 5’7” tall and weigh 296 pounds. The last time I went to the doctor I tipped the scales at 304 and I knew I couldn’t go on gaining weight and ending up with Diabetes at an early age. My family has a history of diabetes (my mom was just diagnosed this winter with Type 1) and also server arthritis in the knees and feet. I know that I might eventually end up with the diabetes and arthritis but I am too young. I currently have Planters Faseiitis in both my feet and sore knees from my weight.
I have been on so many diets, I would loose 20lbs or so but I would of course start eating what I shouldn’t and gain back the 20lbs and more. Right now I am loosing weight slow but its better then gaining. I have been eating Cereal and a banana for breakfast, SmartOnes frozen meal, small salad and a yogurt for lunch and for dinner I eat what I want but in a smaller portion. I have also been walking 1 mile everyday during lunch at work. I stopped drinking Soda and drink water most of the time.
What I really want to accomplish is too get out of the 26-28 pants size and into an 18 or even a 14. I want people to judge me by my personality and not by what size I am. I want to be able to walk up the stairs without getting out of breath.
Also my goal for this summer is too loose enough weight to fit on the amusement park rides in July. Last year I couldn’t fit on 5 rides, I was so embarrassed getting off the ride and having everyone stare at you. My favorite thing to do is go on roller coaster and I can’t even do that anymore.
I’m hoping that this forum can give me the support and tips I need to succeed and to also talk to people with the same problems I am facing. Thank you so much for reading this, it feels good too talk about it.

. I walked everyday last week but I did kind of eat out alot this weekend. When I go out with my friends they all like to go out and eat and I always end up eating the wrong things. I also had a few beers this weekend which might not have helped.
