Hi,
My name is Bren. I used to be on medications for mental disorders and gained close to 100 lbs. I now take herbals. I am trying to lose this weight in a healthy way and I was so thrilled to find you here. I posted a suggestion for a tracker and Med Help gave me the link to this community. I used to exercise everyday sometimes 2 times a day before I got pregnant with my 3rd son, I want to get back into exercising and eating healthy I just have to be careful doing so. I will try my best to give support to those here who want it. I know I too am going to need it. Just a push now and then letting me know i can do it the healthy way. I have past problems with anorexia turning into bulimia. I do not want to go that route! I was so sick back then. I had lost 64 lbs that way but it was not good on my organs or my teeth. I was at my most 261 lbs. I had gotten down to 197 lbs. But have since gained more back. I was on the 20th of this month 230 lbs and I am now down to 224.2 lbs. I am looking forward to losing weight with others who understand what it is like. I am going to start back exercising on Monday. I do not want to do the counting calories thing as it is a trigger for me to go to extremes and I need to try and keep from over exercising as well. I kinda went nuts before with it and would do 400 sit ups a workout sometimes 2 workouts a day. I want to get back down to about 160 lbs as long as i don't look to sickly at that weight. Thanks for giving me the chance to introduce myself.

Hello everyone! My name is Lucinda and my darling friend Ranae said that this might be a place that I would enjoy! I look forward to getting to know you all. ; )
HI Lucinda!! Welcome aboard! I'm Joy. Ranae is right this place is awesome!! I have been here a month and I have lost 5lbs!! Everyone here is really wonderful!!
I am at 204 lbs with a height of 5'6", I know I need to lose about 40 lbs, what is the most effective way to do this?
Hi all...I have finally decided that 2009 will be my year for getting myself in shape--no excuses! I weighed in at the doctor's today for my annual exam...305 lbs! The biggest I have EVER been...and I am only 23. While I have been overweight since I was about 6, I will not let weight gain get the best of me anymore. The least I ever weighed was my sophomore year when I dropped from 235lbs to 170lbs over the summer through unhealthy means...starvation and 10 mile bike rides in the heat. I know it is going to take some time, but I hope there are plenty of people to give me courage and strength to know that I CAN and WILL do this. I am hoping to get down to 160lbs by May 2010, as I am going to be in my best friend's wedding. That equates to about 2lbs a week.
