I've been 'trying' for the past year to lose weight. I am 5'8" and weigh about 170 lbs. so I am 10 lbs overweight according to my doctor but would prefer to lose around 25 or 30 lbs. When DH and I met we were in college and he worked in the fitness center, needless to say I started working out so that I could see him. I got in a routine of working-out an hour to and hour and a half, five to six days a week. My senior year of college I had a very demanding course load plus I was working a full time job so I had to give up something which turned out to be exercise. At my best I was a size 6 and 128 lbs! I felt good about how I looked at the time too! Now, I'm a size 14 on the bottom and a LG/XL on the top. I've always ate healthy, but for a while struggled with portion sizes. Since January I've really controlled my portions and types of food I eat however no change in my weight. I've bought a gym membership and one of my friends is going to start going with me in the mornings before work...we start next Monday!
