whatthewhat Posted June 12, 2014 Report Share Posted June 12, 2014 Hello. I am new. I have quite the story and I suppose I can tell you if you want to know. But mostly I have struggled with my weight off and on since college.I tried my hand at not eating but I just love food too much, I've been prescribed medicine (which never should've happened as I was not even outside my 'healthy' range) I've done Jenny Craig, I tried WW for a hot minute, and this last time I lost weight through Metabolic Research Center. I maintained that weight loss for about a year and have slowly started to put the pounds back on. This time around though I want it to be different. I don't want to diet. I want to worry less about the number on the scale and focus more on how things fit. I want to make changes that stick. I want to gain muscle. I have some loose skin issues from my previous weight loss (I talk about it in my challenge topic if you're interested) and I'm hoping that doing weight training with my jazzercise classes will help tone up and tighten things. Most days I'm hopeful - some days I'm discouraged. I look at other people and think, there's NO WAY I can do with my body what they do with theirs. There's no way I can sculpt out muscles like that. Then I remember that if I don't try, I'm absolutely certain not to. But if I try, I might. And that's what I hold onto. I like it here, and I hope to find and provide some help and support along the way. So...HI! 2 Quote Level 0 Human Adventurer Str:0 Dex:0 Sta:0 Con:0 Wis:0 Char:0 My first Quest!
