Last month, I noticed that I had gained about 5 pounds since I started working... Super-sedentary lifestyle... I started going to the gym recently, and have cut down on my calories (been eating a lot of salads, mostly *). I've dropped 3 pounds and still have two to go.
I've always been rather slim, and can certainly get away with 5 extra pounds.. But I wanted to see if I had the will to lose weight. This is the first time I've actively tried to control my food intake, and I certainly see how it can be a struggle (and I'm only going for a few pounds)! So congrats for all the people losing weight, and hang in there to the ones trying to do so.
