I'm 33 years old, 5'7" and currently 235 pounds. At my heaviest I weighed 270 pounds (in 2007). My doctor put me on a diet pill at that time. Although I was able to get all the way down to 180 pounds, as soon as I stopped taking the pill, the weight came back (thankfully not all of it).

My goal is to be athletic and spend more time doing fun, active things - like walking with my dogs, playing some sports, and I'd love to someday compete in one of those mud-run or obstacle course ...

My goal is to be athletic and spend more time doing fun, active things - like walking with my dogs, playing some sports, and I'd love to someday compete in one of those mud-run or obstacle course type events. My goal weight is 160-170 lbs, but really I have a certain body type in mind for myself more than a particular weight.

I feel right now like I'm being held back from doing those things, partly because I'm a graduate student (so much of my free time goes into doing homework and research) and partly because my husband does not want to do the active things I want to do. He works a very physically strenuous job and only wants to lay on the couch when he gets home.
