Here to lose the weight finally.

Hello all. Technically im not new because I have been a member on here for about a year, but this is the first time I have REALLY looked around the site, and think that this is a good way to get motivated to lose the weight once and for good. Two years ago I weighed 125lbs and was completly happy with my weight, then my life got hectic and the weight began to pile on, and now I am 170. I would like to lose the weight and get back to where I was to start. So this is my little post so that I can feel like im held accountable. Happy to be on here and hope all of you reach your goals.

Height:5'2

Currently: 170lbs

Mini Goal Weight: 150

Final Goal Weight: 125

Nice to meet you. My name is Lynn, and I am so happy you are going to use CC to it's fullest.

Here's to weight loss and new beginnings.

Thank you =)

I am glad that everyone here is so supportive.

Good luck to you! You and I have very similar stats- I'm 5'2 and I started at around 170 with a goal of getting to 125. I hope this site offers what you need... I know it helped me.

I'm currently 126.2.... only one more pound to go!

Hey! :-D I'm another 5'2er...started at 151 and am now down to 121.5...only three-ish pounds from my final goal weight of 118 (first goal weight was 135, then 128, then finally 118). I wish you a ton of luck--I'm sure you'll have success!

You're young and now is the perfect time to get control of your lifestyle (and consequently the weight issues)! What you learn now can help you for the rest of your life!

The best thing you can do is be determined. The mental side of weight loss is always the hardest part! So stay dedicated - don't let little bumps in the road sidetrack your ultimate goal and the best thing you can do is become educated in your own health. Knowledge is Power! :)

Best wishes! Stick to it!

I am glad to see that I'm not the only one who has gained that much weight in such a short time.  Hectic is right!  I was at about 135 about 20 months ago and then I started a new job.  Now I am at 175.   (I am a little taller than you - 5'5')  AMAZING how quickly you can gain weight when you let yourself go.   That is only 2 lbs a month but look how fast it adds up.   

Hopefully by logging all of our food and one day getting back into the gym we can get back down to our normal weight!

Good luck!

I started two weeks back and am already seeing results - almost 2 lbs gone! I hope you use CC to its fullest extent and wish you all the best in your endeavors.

Thank you all =)

Ive already lost 6lbs since that post. Im so happy to have found this website.

Congrats on the 6lbs............. Good job! I'm happy for you.. Keep up the good work.

Keep on pushing
