Hard worker--Ready to go!

Hey y'all! I'm Marilyn from NC, I don't look it but I actually am obese (not by much, but still!) and I'm sick of it.

I wasn't always heavy, in fact I was 96 lbs at 14 and 117 lbs at 19. I went on this HORRIBLE medication (for personal reasons) and while it did serve its purpose, it caused me to gain 80 lbs in one year. I'm a Celiac (gluten intolerance) so I don't eat wheat or anything that has touched wheat, so that makes not eating caked and cookies and pizzas kinda easy. On the other hand, I'm a sucker for sugary sweets like chocolate, and fatty foods like gourmet cheese.

I won't let myself live this way any longer, I'm fat, unhealthy, and unhappy. I'm going to lose at LEAST 60 lbs and I'll do it the healthy way.
