I've been on this never-ending battle for weight loss for several years of my life and I can safely say I have wasted a good portion of my life never enjoying myself to the fullest because of weight. I thought the key success to weight loss was starvation and diet pills so sadly, those were things I did and felt horrible. Today I eat healthfully and no longer believe in diet pills and starvation. Ironically, I am at my heaviest since starting healthful eating the last 4 years....I actually weighed less in high school and college, yet, ate the worst. The latest "diet" I've been doing has been the Primal Diet, aka, the No grains and starchy carbs diet. It was tough but it seemed that after a period of time I managed to go from 170 to 161.5 back in Spring 2010. Sadly, when it seemed like I introduced some grains back into my life, I ballooned back to 172. I never enjoyed the idea of cutting out an entire food group....

It doesn't make sense and it frustrates me every day. I measure and log for the most part as well as doing cardio such as brisk walking or jogging for most days of the week. I am trying to have patience.

I am trying not to give up hope as this weight refuses to come off.

I'm still pushing myself as I am trying to figure out what has really caused this massive weight gain...

Oh to be 125-130.......
