Hi yall !

My name is Des, I am 24 years old from NC. I have been using the site and droid app for 3 weeks now and have lost 9 pounds so far (YAY!) but have never posted. I recently had a week where I really didn't stay as motivated as I have been so I thought this is the best time to start. I am in a relationship (6 years in march!) with a man that has been hugely supportive and has been helping me more than I could have expected which has helped a ton.

I have been overweight since I was in early elementary school. I got down to a healthy weight about 6 years ago but didn't do it the right way and all the weight + some has now come back. I spent maybe 1 summer of my life total at a healthy weight and I am determined fix it.

Honestly I have gotten to the point in my life that I understand that it isn't going to be easy. I am not looking for an easy out this time around. I want to be an overall healthy person. I want to be in good shape for the first time in my life.

Well I hope to get to know you guys and offer any help or moral support I can.

Good to meet you!
