I am a 25yr old female as well. I want to lose 20lbs. I am currently 136lbs, 5'0". I lost down to 125lbs in 2007 while on this website, but gained it back the minute I stopped logging food and working out daily. I also sabatoge myself with food (cookies, bread, just eating too much). Usually I can lose the weight Monday-Friday, but on the weekends I have sooo much trouble losing. Any time fun is involved I gain weight. For example, I was 139lbs last Monday, I got down to 136.5lbs and then after the weekend, the next Monday I was back to 139lbs. Right now (it is Thursday) I weigh 136lbs again, so hopefully I can stay there. Every Friday I tell myself I can do it, but just don't. When I don't go to work (on the weekends) I gain weight because I am not on my feet all day like at work. It is that hidden exercise you get while at work that helps keep your weight down. So now I have learned that I really cannot eat much if I am not going to be on my feet all day. I even go for walks and do housework on the weekends, still gain. In 2007 I lost the weight by working out 4-5 times a week, eating barely any food and never eating after 6pm. It is so hard to get in this habit, but once you do the weight comes off really easy. The problem is when you let in the bad habits again, they you gain everything back.
