Hope I'm doing this right. This is my first post, and my first "diary entry".
First off let me introduce myself. I'm Jennifer, an 18 year old full-time college student. I'm engaged and planning on getting married within this year or next. We still live with my mother, but only because my fiance plans on joining the military, and I don't want to be completely alone while he's gone. No kids yet, but I have my own type of babies...two daschunds. A 1 1/2 year old named Jasmin and a 6 week old named Joey. I've been overweight most of my life (Since I was in 3rd grade). My goal isn't to be tiny, but to be happy, and healthy. My fiance tells me I'm perfect the way I am, which sounds nice, but isn't very helpful in my weightloss efforts (or lack thereof). Another thing is I've suffered from depression since a young age, I recently quit taking my meds (Zoloft) without doctors permission ...could this be a culprit of a weight gain as well?
Height: 5'4
Weight: 201lbs
-I've been telling myself that I'd start my diet "tomarrow" for the past few months. I'm gaining more weight and falling into a deeper depression. Is it worth it? I think not.
I haven't officially started yet. I'm a dieting/exercising idiot. I have a membership at the local YMCA, but lately I haven't been able to force myself to go. I get so bored while walking on the tredmill or tredding on the elipticals. And that's not the only problem...I'm extremly self-conscious. I hate seeing the tiny girls all around and the gorgeous guys strutting there stuff to the drinking fountain. So my solution (PLEASE TELL ME IF THIS IS A GOOD ONE) is to buy an eliptical or tredmill and workout at home. That way I can't tell myself that it's too late to drive to the gym, or that the skinny chicks are looking at my ghetto booty.
I also need suggestions for a diet plan. I can't stick with cutting my calories down to nothingness unless I have an EASY menu that I can pick up at the grocery store. As a full time student I dont seem to have time to cook so prepared things, or easy prepareable things are the best choice for me. Also, I need suggestions for work out routines. Something to ease me in slowly, but efficiently.
