Ht. 5'4", Start: 165 lb, Today: 165 lb (BMI %tile: 95), Goal: 130 lb - Hi..I'm new here...I'm sick of looking at myself in the mirror and not being happy with what I see. I'm so sick of feeling the way I feel, insecure, and unhappy. I shy away from pictures because I don't want people to see me that way...I don't want the current me to be frozen in time.
I've tried SOO many diets...but I know the key to keeping off weight is eating healthy and exercising. A couple months ago, I was doing all that I should, and I lost 4 pounds in 2 weeks. I was so happy and proud of myself...Then one day I thought "Nah, I dont want to exercise today...I'll do it tomorrow"...and then I don't...
I lack motivation and dedication....But my New Years Resolution is to get to my goal weight by the summer. I hope that by talking to other people about it that I'll be able to get there.

WOW thats intense. i have the same exact story! haha anyways since im way better with excersize than diet ill give you some tips on that. if you can, invest in a few dumbells, maybe around 3/5/7 pounds. theyre pretty inexpensive but can really amp up a workout. also if you have problems with meing movivated, post your workout schedule on a mirror. that way you will be reminded of what to do and what your working for. hope it helps (:
