Hey all!

hellenyork

My name is Hellen and I'll be 29 in a couple of weeks. I went to the doctor today for my first ever physical and topped the scales at 277 pounds. This is the first time I've actually said or typed the number and it feels good to admit that I am overweight but ready to do something about it. I work in an eye doctor's office and do mostly insurance and billing work, but also other various secretarial duties. I am also a full time student studying insurance and medical billing.

I live with my boyfriend who is a diabetic. He watches what he eats for heath reasons but not for weight loss so he is helpful and encouraging when it comes to watching what I'll be eating. He has no idea what my current weight is and I have no plans on telling him right now because it is an embarrassing number for me.

My doctor actually gave me this website to use because it is one that she uses and found it to be really helpful. I'm really looking forward to losing weight and being serious about it!!
