Hi everyone,

I'm 38 years old and have been struggling with my weight since I was a teen. I currently weigh 247 and really would like reach my goal weight of 175lbs by my 40th birthday (Feb. 2009!). I haven't been under 200lbs. since around 1994, and have been within a 20lb. weight range of 220-240+ for at least the past eight years or so.

I'm on my feet all day at my job, so at least I'm not

Hi everyone,

I'm 38 years old and have been struggling with my weight since I was a teen. I currently weigh 247 and really would like reach my goal weight of 175lbs by my 40th birthday (Feb. 2009!). I haven't been under 200lbs. since around 1994, and have been within a 20lb. weight range of 220-240+ for at least the past eight years or so.

I'm on my feet all day at my job, so at least I'm not sitting on my butt behind a desk all day. I've been a gym member since 1997, but have been pretty consistent with working out since 2001 until this past year as it wasn't a priority for me due to other circumstances.

My main issue is not with working out so much as it is with my food choices. I tend to crave salty, carbohydrate-laden food as well as dairy products, especially during stressful times. I was never really a sweets person either until recently, so I've added those treats to the menu as well! I can do well with an eating plan for a little while, say a month or so, and then something will set me off and it takes a while for me to get back on track, usually after I've undone all my hard work.

I'm hoping that by meeting other members in this community with similar issues, I can break my relationship with food and the losing weight/gaining-it-all-back cycle once and for all.
