My name is Tabby. I am married with 2 children. When I was in high school I weighed 145 lbs and 11 years later I weigh 270 lbs. I am needing some help and encouragement.

    Good Luck, You can do it. This is a great site. My advice is to keep track of your calorie intake, it really helps when you write it down.
