Hi and welcome to my Diary!
Here's the stats;
I am a 29 (almost 30) year old female. Currently I weigh 292 pounds. My highest weight has been about 305 and have recently shed about 10lbs in a month or so just watching what I have been eating and cutting down on calories. I would love to lose about 150 pounds, but am setting my goal at 100 to start and then re-evaluating from there. About 5 years ago a lost 85 pounds and got down to 185 and looked fabulous!!! However, I hit a few bumps in the road and ended up gaining all of that back plus more.
I am at a point in my life where I no longer won't to be a slave to my weight!!!!! So, I have started to do some major thinking about why I am overweight and what's stopping me from getting to a healthy weight.
My plans are to cut back on the amount that I eat (portion control) and get more active. I have a very busy career, but haven't been making the time or effort to get to the gym. I have had a membership at Curves for over a year and haven't been able to make it there more than once in the past 4 months.
My troubles are that I get really motivated and can stick with something for a couple of weeks, but then inevitably something comes along that gets in the way and I fall off the wagon.
I am looking for some people who are going through the same struggles that I am and someone who can encourage me to keep on going on going even when I want to stop and sabatoge myself.
Well, this is getting to be pretty long - amazing what happens when you just start pouring your heart out! Thanks for listening and any advise or support would be greatly appreciated!
