I am a 35 single mother of two boys and this is my second wake-up call to fight the battle of the bulge!
I lost 120lbs last year and I've gained about 20-25 back and I am so depressed about it. I can't seem to get the motivation to keep up the weight loss and I fell back into my old habits, of letting stuff get in my way of exercising and eating right. I feel so disgusted, yet I am seriously hoping to get back on track because I do not want to go back to where I was previously. I lost the weight by way of a protein shake diet, which worked wonders, but my head just does not seem to be in the game anymore. I need an intervention like now!

I am 49 and a vegan. My partner (female) and I moved to Canada from the US on June 3rd. We want legal recognition of our relationship. We have 2 dogs and 2 cats. I used to have access to a scale where I worked out, but the recreation centre I joined here refuses to have scales. They think measuring is enough. I have not been as careful about eating, since I am not accountable.

well i'm 21 from ny. I'm a [lifelong] vegetarian. I have hashimoto's thyroiditis which means my metabolism is super slow.
I take synthroid and cytomel for that. I also suffer from depression, adhd and a metabolic disorder that I was born with. Yay.
I recently was on the path to anorexia, consuming 900 calories or less a day, and during the last few weeks I've been off of that..but i feel like its important I start that up again, cause I lsot weight while doing that. I went from265-270 to 247 in about a month and a 1/2 or so.
I despise transfat and high fructose corn syrup, that is a major reason I lost weight because I just stopped myself from consuming it.
But over the past week or so i've been drinking a can or 2 of soda a day, probably cause I can't get my hands on iced tea mix [whcih has sugar, not HFCS], but that stops today. I don't want that crap polluting my body. I feel week and sluggish because of it. and i truly do hate it. I prefered keeping myself pure, and so pure I shall. hopefulyl i haven't hurt myself too much in the last 2 weeks or so.

I just finished my first semester of college and I am definitely feeling the freshman fifteen, which I'm hoping to lose by going on the points system. School cafeteria food is very high in fat and oil, so I hope to start eating a lot more whole foods, maybe buying them at a grocery store or something. Also, there is a gym on campus so I want to work out at least four times a week.
