I'm a 24 year old recently married woman.  I played sports my whole life as well as college softball, so I never worried about my weight.  I ate what I want and was always working out.  Well, when I finished with the sports...I also dropped the working out...and that's when the weight came on.  I am a lover of food....let me rephrase...a lover of UNHEALTHY food. :)  I am at my heaviest right now, and none of my clothes fit.  I have never had low self esteem, but recently I feel very unattractive.  I want to lose some weight...my goal is 35 lbs...but 45 would be even better!  I want to feel better about myself...and hopefully be able to strut my stuff on the beach next summer!
