Welcome to the forum and well done starting a journal

I also started at a BMI of 27 and a half, (I am shorter 5'4 and was a tad lighter at 160), now my BMI is 22. It is totally doable!
However I still have a belly, so I am continuing to work on that!

I totally understand where you're coming from. It's so much harder when your significant other isn't sharing in what you're trying to do. My boyfriend eats absolutely anything that he wants, anything that can be put in front of him and it doesn't matter.

Your determination is definitely inspiring! Keep it up! Remember to make sure that your caloric intake is appropriate for safely losing weigh and not overdoing it at the gym and that should help from bouncing back even if your having a bit of a harder time with support from home.

Being on this site and keeping a journal is definitely an awesome way to find support :-)

Good luck! I can't wait to see your progress!
