Hello all, my name is Jenny and this is my first attempt at blogging. I'm 27 years old and live in Northern Kentucky. I'm really looking for some support while I try to shed about 25 extra pounds. Unfortunatly, at this time I don't feel like I'm getting the support that I need from my family and friends, and this site was recomended to me by my boyfried. Who has been great since I started but a one man support team can only go so far expecially since he has never had so much as an extra pound.
I started to eat healthier and exercising 4 weeks ago. I have counted every calorie, worked out 6 days a week, never missing once and yet I've only lost a pound. I visited my doctor and was told that there was nothing wrong with me and maybe I was just meant to be this way. I can't accept that.
It has definatly been getting harder and harder for me to continue to eat right, and exercise when I'm getting very little results. I have changed my routine, starting this week (week 5)hoping that will give me some results. Mainly what I'm hoping to get from extra pounds is the just some support and encouragement from people who have had the same type of experiences.

don't worry....
it takes a while for your body to adjust to your new routine. The weight will come off. Just be patient and keep doing what you are doing. Welcome to EP. You will get a lot of support!
I understand completely. I'm 5'2" and am trying to lose 15 pounds. I've been really good for the last 3 weeks and am not losing either. I keep plugging away. EP helps a lot. When i get discouraged, I read the blogs and I feel better. There is a lot of support out there. Good luck. I too refuse to accept that I am meant to be my size :).

The weight does come off slow some times, but remember that it took years to gain, so it can't come off overnight. That said, what types of foods are you eating? I know a lot of people who have found that cutting back on dairy and wheat products helps them lose weight. Good luck and welcome to EP!
