Hello there - I am new to this board as well. I just turned 26 - I am 5'6 and weighing in around 240! Thankfully I still have my shape but I seriously need to loose the weight. I've done every diet there is known to man including spending $1,300.oo on hypnotherapy...that was a joke! I'm to the point now where I am just sooo mad at myself. Didn't help that I was involved in a couple of car accidents which totally threw me off guard there for a while and hindered my mobility. And on top of that I live with a man who can eat 2 Big Macs, 2 large fries, 10 chicken McNuggets and not gain a pound UGGHHH! In fact I think he actually looses weight while eating!!!...so I made the mistake of thinking I can eat whatever he can - DUH - my mistake! I smell a french fry and gain 5 pounds...long story short - I'm MAD, MAD MAD MAD! And I think being angry is exactly what I need to get my butt in shape again. Starting tonight I'm going to make some cabbage soup, that little 7 day diet. I think what I need is a kick start just to get my confidence going. I also love to play tennis. I'm going to start playing 5 days a week again for an hour a day. I was never the one to be in a gym for 2 hours. After a month of being a gym rat I got sooo bored of it, doesn't help that your working out with girls that don't even need to workout! I feel like I am in this all by myself. The boyfriend is going to help me by playing tennis with me 2 days a week and my cousin - who needs to loose herself is going to play the other 3 days. But I would still like to have some friends online who feel the way I feel. I'm sick of being the big girl with the pretty face...so I am up for any kind of advice and I'll be just as happy to give you all the support you need as well. Thanks for listening anyone who is reading! :->

P.S. I also posted this underneath a discussion for workout buddies...so if anyone is looking for a buddy...let me know!

Wow thank you all very much! I've been to this board just for one day only and I've received so much inspiration from all of you. I have never done "The Cabbage Soup Diet" before so I will let you all know how it goes.

I have an aunt and uncle who do the cabbage soup thing...they call it the starvation soup diet. LOL
