Hi ladies!
I'm Amanda. I'm a 26 year old teacher in Philly.
Last weekend, my boyfriend and I took a little trip for my birthday. We were about to go swimming, so I put on my swimsuit from last year... and started crying (dramatic, I know). I've gained weight, and I'm very frustrated. I've yo-yoed up and down since college.
Here's approximately how my weight has looked since high school:
2003- 138
2004- 156
2005- 135
2006- 120
2007- 160
2008- 145
2009- 130
2010- 140
2011- 148
Crappy pattern, right? I gain and lose, gain and lose. I want to lose it for good! I know this means regular exercising and healthy habits, and I'm working hard to make sure that happens. I started my diet this week. I started at 148, and am now at 144 (I know, water/ salt weight). My goal is 120 (I'm 5'3"). I'm hoping to find some support here!
