Hi, my name is Angee, I am 24 from VA. I have one son who will be three in May and I have a fiance who loves me very much and we will be getting married in October of next year. I am not just trying to lose weight b/c of the upcoming wedding. I have gained nearly 60 pounds in the last year alone and I just want it off!! I have been struggling with weight since I got out of high school. My weight skyrocketed from 156 when I graduated to 195 after graduating. I yo-yo'd between 180 and 195 for 2 years and once I got pregnant I was happy b/c i lost 25 lbs even though I eventually gained it back. After I had my son, I went back down to 183 and stayed in that area for the first couple months. I started Depo Provera when my son was 3 months old, and that is when i broke the 200lb mark. I stopped taking it in October of last year and the weight will not come off. I have dieted and exercised but I seem stuck. I weigh 262 now and I hate it. I want to be the healthy weight for my height which is 160. I just don't feel healthy. I get winded easily and miss the days when I used to be able too do things all day long and not feel tired. Excercise is my worst problem I think b/c I give up to easy. I feel tired or 'feel the burn' and I quit b/c I am scared of hurting myself. Anyone with any advice or comments, feel free to reply or email me at limoneysnickett@aol.com. I look foward to learning from this message board! Thank you!


Welcome to the board Angee and congratulations on your decision to lose the weight.
I am also facing trouble with exercise. Actually I just think I'm plain lazy LOL. One thing that seems to be helping me now is that I'm not getting in too deep. I don't set super goals, I just want to be active 3 times a week. And sometimes I even make it to my goal. Right now I'm trying to establish a habit, and once I do this, I'll get more serious.
Good luck on your journey. Keep us posted
