Anything is possible!
Hi Im Mina, Im 23 years old and I joined spark people after someone mentioned it in the Biggest Loser community. After watching the show and looking at pictures on their website posted by viewers I suddenly realized that I can do it! I have been overweight my whole life and always letting it interfere with things I wanted to do. I am selfconscious more than normal and I know depression has played a part.

Hi Im Mina, Im 23 years old and I joined spark people after someone mentioned it in the Biggest Loser community. After watching the show and looking at pictures on their website posted by viewers I suddenly realized that I can do it! I have been overweight my whole life and always letting it interfere with things I wanted to do. I am selfconscious more than normal and I know depression has played a part. I was diagnosed with PCOS and always let that bring me down. I always complained that I cant do anything or trying to find an easy way out. I am here to change my lifestyle and get to a healthy weight not only to make myself feel better but to prove to myself that I can accomplish anything! I know its going to be hard and a long journey, but I am wiling to do anything now to make myself healthier. I learned a lot about what being obese can do to you and your body. I have always been making excuses but now Ive changed.
I love curves and have never imagined being 'skinny' because Im also not built that way. My ideal weight should be 140-160 because of my large frame. My ultimate goal is to get down to 150 and if Im not happy there I can keep going. Lets do it!

Im back :) and im so excited and happy to be on track of everything I said i was going to be doing. I have decided to cut back on my starches and eat more fruits and veggies in my diet. Its been so easy cuz its summer time and its a great way to fill up on salads. I feel so full after my meals even without having bread or rice and i feel really good about what Im eating. I really hope Im taking the right and healthy route with this time around and I hope I see results soon. I have only changed my eating habits but I will soon be adding some activity in between my work days :)

Soooo Ive been busy and I know thats a lame excuse and I have been feeling really down about the losing weight thing. But Ive been happy with my life and have started changing mentally. I have not gained major weight, a few pounds, which I am so glad about because this weight loss has been since last year!! but I know I need to start getting ready to keep losing!

Im back! with an even bigger reason to lose weight, I really am ready to take the next step to lose the next 45lbs. I have been doing great by keeping the first 40lbs off but ive noticed I havent been as healthy as i should be and I really want to get back to living a healthy lifestyle. Im so excited and believe that I can do this as long as I keep myself motivated everyday!
