hi
i am dianna, i am 27 years old. i live in louisiana. i found this site by searching for information on workout programs for my husband and myself. we have benn fighting this battle for almost a year. he has progressed very well. and as for myself i have lost the weight but the toneing is the problem. we have a membership at a gym i am a faithful goer and it is still not working. i am about to pull my hair out over it. i think this is a cool site, and it is wonderful of everyone to try to help someone achieve their goals.

Hi Dianna,
I am new to this site as well. I have struggled with my weight my entire life and recently have had a break through. I lost 190 pounds through diet and exercise in 19 months and have struggled to keep it off for 1.5 years. Over the past ten months I have regained 25 pounds of it back. I was forced to reevaluate what I was doing. I realized that I was starting to pick up some of my old unhealthy habits. I am back on the straight and narrow and doing better.

One thing I would say to you is, no matter what don’t give up. You deserve to be healthy. No matter what changes to your program you may have to make it’s worth it to get yourself to a place where you feel great. The greatest gift that I gave myself was permission to be healthy. I deserve to be healthy and even though I am working my way out of place that I wish I hadn’t gone (gaining 25 pounds) I will not let myself go; I will not give up on myself.
