Hi everyone!

My name is Reese. I just turned 30 this year. Looking back, I realize that I was overweight for all of my 20’s. I don’t want another decade to pass and still not reach my wellness goals. I have two dogs, a cat, and a husband that is obsessed with pizza. I’ve had success with MFP before, but I usually quit after 6-8 months and gain most of the weight back. I want to try something different. I’m going to actually participate on the community boards instead of just reading everyone’s posts. I would love to make some friends and be able to see their progress in my feed. Likewise, I will try to post regularly to help drum up inspiration. I just don’t want to quit! Life feels so much better without the extra weight.
Height: 5’7
HW: 272 lbs (123 kg)
SW: 250 lbs (113 kg)
GW: 200 lbs (90 kg)
My goal weight is still overweight, but I want to maintain 200lbs for 3-6 months before losing more.
