Hey everybody--I'm new here so I wanted to introduce myself. Has anyone else had a lot of weight gain catch up with them all at once? It was like I woke up one day and all of a sudden none of my clothes fit...so I'm hoping this forum will help me stay motivated and on track this time. I've somehow managed to pack on about 30 pounds over the past year, probaby as a result of increased stress, more commitments, etc. I feel horrible--I'm out of shape, nothing fits, dressing rooms are nightmares, and instead of looking forward to my beach vacation in a couple of months, I've been absolutely dreading having to wear a bathing suit in public. It is DEFINITELY time for something to change!
