Let the motivation begin

Hi everyone,
My name is Tammy, I live in Gallatin TN. I am 34 years old and I have 100+ pounds to lose. Wow, that was hard to admit...
My self-esteem has hit rock bottom and I know the only person that can change that is me. I have battled my weight alone for a long time and have failed many times. I joined MFP because I am ready to change my life. I have lost 7 pounds in the last 2 weeks, but I am tired of fighting this weight lose battle alone, I want to be motivated and want to motivate others. I have read some of the success stories and cannot wait to be able to post my own. So, please feel free to add me as a friend. Let's acheive our goals together.
