Hi, my name is Aly. I’m 20 years old, 5’3’’, about 190 lbs, and I’ve been struggling with my weight ever since… well ever since I was 8. My dad died then, and I was forced to deal with stress and depression at an early age. All of that made me find comfort in food. 12 years later, here I am.

I’ve tried Weight Watchers, Adkins Diet, various diet pills, and, I hate to admit it, throwing up my meals. I’m just so desperate! But lazy… I know, I’m working on it lol :/ I used to weight 200 lbs, but I’ve lost 30 pounds in the past. Then I got in a new relationship and gained 20 of that back from “happy weight”... Needless to say, I’m not very happy with that lol!

So, If anyone has any pointers, I’m willing to do anything, so the harder, the better!

Umm hi. I gained about 50lbs after I graduated high school. I want to desperately lose 70lbs, but Ill be happy losing 50lbs. Tomorrow is a word that is constantly being used whenever I decide to start a diet, but I am finally ready to do this. I hope we can all give each other advise. :)

I’m down 14 lbs. since I first started on my weight loss journey.

Originally, this was “Lose 60 Pounds.” I had to change it because I GAINED 10 pounds! It’s almost self-destructive. Almost, ha, it IS self-destructive. I eat obsessively. I don’t work out. I am conscious of it the entire time, it’s almost a rebellion against myself!

I think that I should completely rehaul my list so it includes things I can accomplish that get me toward this goal. Small feelings of success that lead to the big one.

Wish Me Luck!

I used to set time limits for myself on when I wanted the weight gone by, but now it’s just more of a I want it gone, but I know that since I haven’t been good about eating healthy and working out regularly, I can’t expect it to just happen overnight. I worked out for an hour today though, and I’m going to try to get back into regular exercise.

I don’t want to spend the rest of my 20’s fat. I want to be healthy. Go shopping for clothes. Take pictures and know that I look good. I know I’m a beautiful woman, I just want to embrace it.

I am now tottering 204-206lbs.
My first goal is to get down below 200. Its really hard. I still wanna be 139lb lol. I haven’t been exercising at all. I am signing up for a kickboxing class at the community center and a yoga class, once I quit my job this July that is. My daughter and I have been taking walked around the block. She enjoys it and we both get exercise. I am taking some herbal supplements but as far as eating healthy… unexpected expenses… so 39 cent box of mac and cheese for two weeks. but not excessive eating though I want to. I eat when I am bored. I need more activities. I’d like to get a rowing machine and an exercise bike. I really enjoy those machines.
I still lost 3-4 pounds. Yays! However, even though I have only lost 3-4 pounds. My face and belly are a lot smaller. hmm…

I was always a size one. After three kids, I will still a size one. But, after coming down with a thyroid disease, my husband and my mother passing away unexpectedly at very young ages, I gained 93 pounds. It seems insurmountable. When my mom passed away last year from hereditary lung cancer I started taking care of myself. I lost 23 pounds in four months. I thought I was on my way to losing it. But, stress hit, changes happened and I gained back all but 6 pounds of what I lost. I still have 87 pounds to lose. My beautiful husband that I was married to for 24 years has been gone now for almost 5 years. I’m only 44. I never thought I would want to date anyone again but I am at a point where I do. My 6 year old keeps asking me for a daddy and I miss the companionship. I miss sharing and talking and enjoying life with someone. Problem is, ever since I gained all this weight NO GUYS EVEN LOOK at me anymore. I never had that problem before I gained weight. So, why don’t I have the energy to lose the weight? Why can’t I make a long term effort? Have do I find that energy and willpower again? I also worry about my health being 44 and our youngest is only 6. I have to be healthy for her. What’s it gonna take? How the heck do I get back to a place of caring?

So I was always 140ish then I got pregnant and my weight hit 240lbs. When I gave birth, I lost 30 pounds. Then I teeter tottered between 200-210. I want to get back to 140ish.

I am currently 209lbs.

I have started eating much better. Lots of salad, grilled chicken breast, unsweetened Iced tea, smaller portions, and zero snacking.

I am going to start bicycling, walking, jumping rope, and lifting weights.

I also am going to start taking my alli soon.

I’ll weigh in and post in a week.
