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!

Looking for support. It's one of the keys to staying consistent and on track I started at 285 now I am 213. Looking for a crowd that's also on the journey that can be positive support for each other
