I am 41 years old and year and half or so ago I lost 60 pounds. Started at 239 pounds and ended at 179. I went from a size 18/20/22 (depending on the fit) to a 7/8. I felt so much better. As healthy as I was in middle school. Unfortunately, I have gained a lot back, 36 pounds to be exact and wearing a 14/16! I am so disappointed in myself. So, I started a cellular detox diet and did it for a week. I felt much better at end of the week but it's just too expensive for me to keep up with and I don't want to go back to the bad habit of starving myself. So, I joined the gym and am going to try to stick to a low fat and low or no sugar diet the best that my pockets can afford and workout at least 4 times a week. I'm hoping to find a group of women I can relate and talk to while going through this journey. At this point I am not sure how to even find people like myself on here, but I hope I do. It's not easy to put yourself and your weight out there but I'm hoping by doing so it will motivate me to get myself together again. Today is the beginning of a new start. Wish me luck!
