    Welcome and I have been heavy most my life too. The extra weight started to go on in my late teens and never stopped. Well I am 44 now and pretty heavy for my size. I have about 60, maybe 70 lbs to lose. Lost 12 lbs in 4 weeks and know I can keep it up.

    Yup...Im one of those people who didnt have this mysterious " fast metabolism" . haha. I was always one of the bigger girls in my class...but I changed all that when I decided to start working out sometime near 2003. Now, im so close to my ultimate goal weight! I have learned a lot and done tons of research on fitness so I would love to help you! I have come a lonnngg way since I was in high school!! Wow...almost my 10 year reunion next year and I could be 65 pounds lighter that I was back then by 2013! Woot woot.

    Good luck! If I were you, I would say dont bother with the gym & get SERIOUS results with some AT HOME fitness by Beachbody!. Maybe a little p90x or turbofire is in your future?? Keep me informed girly and feel free to ask me whatever. I added you as a friend too :) cya

    I'm 55 and I have been heavy all my life. When I was about 16, I can remember a girl saying if she weighed 150 pounds she would die. Guess what thats what I weighed. I remember feeling so awful, but it didn't stop me from getting bigger and bigger. Get a hold of it now while you are young. I sure wish I would have. Now my dream is to weigh 150 pounds.
