I was 39, suddenly single and my weight was up to 296lbs. I had spent my entire thirties at about 250lb, and was so tired of being so big and feeling so unattractive. I dropped almost a hundred and twenty pounds by dieting over the course of 2 years, but didn't quite reach my goal. The weight started finding it's way back to me this summer, and I put back on twenty pounds and went back up to 205lb. Seeing the scale over 200lbs again was a bit horrifying! My goal is to lose 10lbs a month until I reach 170lbs, but the weight just isn't coming off so I signed up for FAtsecret to log in my food, document everything I do, and get back on track.
