City-Girl

I was born and raised in So Cal and have lived here most of my life. I'm 43, and I have a clear and concise goal; lose the weight and keep it off for good. Throughout my teens and at 5'7", I was always very active and slender - about 118 pounds on any given day. In my twenties, I gained a little more (as we do as we get older...) and averaged in the low-to-mid 120's. THEN, during my late twenties, I gain a little more - maybe around 130 give or take. As I began my 30's, so began the REAL roller-coaster ride. I was constantly bouncing around from 140 to 160, back and forth, over and over. It was a frustrating time for me. From that point until my late 30's and then turning 40, I finally had to stop and take inventory. I told myself, "That's it, this weight is coming back off for GOOD this time!" That's kind of where I'm at now. There's a lot of transitioning going on in my life and I'd like to feel great physically about myself again. I'd like to get back to my mid-to-late-20's weight of about 130-135 (and then just maintain). FS is the perfect motivational tool and it's great to see everyone else trying to work out their goals too. Good luck to us all!!!

JUST STICK WITH A "SMART" PLAN AND THE WEIGHT WILL COME OFF - IT HAS TO - THAT'S THE WAY IT WORKS. IF YOU "DON'T" EAT HEALTHY OR EXERCISE, THE WEIGHT WILL STAY ON, OR YOU'LL GAIN MORE - THAT'S A GIVEN! JUST EAT LESS AND MOVE MORE.
