My name is Andrea.

I joined My Fitness Pal in 2009 and was able to lose 55 lbs. and one day I just stopped trying and kept putting excuses. I am tired of being overweight and being unhappy with my body. I love food but I have to love myself more.

My CW: 292(highest 310)
GW: -100 = 198 (I was at 234 :[ )

I went in for a doctors appointments and got my annual physical exam and while my lab results were perfect I don't want to be labeled as "Morbidly Obese" I've been overweight my entire life; the only time I remember being a "normal weight" I was around 2 years old and this has been a constant struggle I don't want to have anymore.

I been able to drop the pounds before which shows I can do it again. I just have to discipline myself with food and become more active.
