I am 21, 5 foot nothing, and 192lbs and hoping to lose close to 100lbs.
I have tried some of the diets that are out there but cant seem to keep motivated.
I have also always been kinda self destructive when it came to dieting in the past; by this I mean that whenever a diet would start to work and someone would point out that I looked to be losing weight I would get uncomfortable at the acknowledgment and balloon back up.
Now that a few years have passed and I have gotten to the bottom of why I always got uncomfortable at any positive acknowledgment, I think that I am ready to claim my life back and be who I want to be. Which first and foremost means dropping these unhealthy pounds.

hi there! You should oink the newbie challenge thread. there are a bunch of us that talk there. And congratulations on being ready to start a new life!

Hello all, I am from Sydney Australia and Vanessa I too, feel like I self-sabotage. It's almost as though I don't feel I deserve to lose the weight. So I hear you...

See you both at the challenge thread hopefully....

hope you are having a good day
