Hi, you can call me Denise. I'm 28 years old, 5'5", and last week I was 350 lbs. Yes, you read that right. I am HUGE and I just can't live like this anymore.

I've weight cycled and yo-yo dieted since I was a child. But I think the reason I always failed was because I restricted too much. It was too extreme. So now I'm taking a healthier approach. I have my account calibrated for 1 pound of weight loss per week, but it's been 3 days of being under my calorie goal and I've already lost 9 lbs. (These online BMR calculators are *kitten*.)

Anyway, I'm looking for weight loss buddies who are starting at 300 lbs or heavier. Let's help each other! :)
