Hi! I'm Ivory, and I'm 25 years old. I weigh in 343 lbs. I've been struggling with my weight since the age of 10 -- and failing to address the situation, of course, has only made it worse. Last summer, I was able to lose 20 lbs, but I've gained it back (and then some) over the winter. I'm hoping that with the right motivation and support I can lose weight and keep it off this time.

I am impressed so far with the community. Everyone here seems so supportive, and some of your success stories have really inspired me. To everyone here, thank you in advance.
