always struggled with weight at 14 I weighed 280 lbs I cannot remember being an average weight
Rock bottom for me was standing on a scale with a maximum weight of 440lbs and getting an error message
After finding out I weighed 485 lbs I decided to make a change and have been losing since
Late 2011 .. i reached 210 lbs but due to medication gained 30 lbs back in a year
now im back down 9 of those lbs with 55 left to reach my "goal"
Ive studied nutrition like crazy and I eat a whole food diet I avoid low fat and fat free foods and processed food (as much as possible) I eat everything one thing Iearned diets are dumb .. also if you can buy it in a box you can make it yourself without the added processed crap
exercise I walk . Do Zumba . and some online workouts I have i was at the gym but at this current point I am not able to go
I cannot figure out how to add my pictures but plenty on my profile
and I am always open to sharing advice and motivation .. I also ha e experience with obesity combined with mental health issues
good luck to everyone else on a weight loss journey
