I just had my 28th birthday last month, I've been married for a little over 2 years and we have a 4 year old little boy. I've always had issues with weight, although I did get on the "skinny" side back in the high school days. I am about 5'7" tall and weigh 175 pounds. About 7 years ago I was at my lowest weight. I believe I weighed about 126 pounds. For some reason, I still felt that I was "chubby" then, too. Now, I'd give anything to be at 140 pounds.
I gained a lot of weigh in pregnancy. Topping out at 222 pounds. Got down to 190 pounds by the time I went back to work, then came down to where I'm at now. I'm seriously stuck and need a lot of help with this. I get started into an exercise habit, but when I don't see results, I get frustrated and I give up. Until 2 weeks later, I decide to try again, only to give up again. It's a routine I'm very tired of.
I figure I'm still "younger" and should be able to drop this weight. I also think I might need to get my thyroid checked. No matter what I do, I have very little energy. Laid off from my job last fall and no insurance, so that will have to wait.
I'm done rambling now, if anyone has any tips or advice, please let me know! I can use all the help I can get!!! I also need help with my eating habits. I am a very picky eater and not really crazy about a whole lot of "healthy" food. I need ideas and help with this!
