Hi Everyone -

I just joined this morning. I got really sick a couple years ago and gained 100 pounds in less than a year! Scary, right?! I was always naturally thin, I never had to watch what I ate, so being obese was a huge self esteem killer for me.

I've lost over 91 pounds in the past 18 months and I've got 7 more to go. My weight loss has really slowed over the past few months and I joined this site to get some good information and help keep my motivation up.

I'm getting married in about 9 months and I'm determined to be at goal weight!

Happy to be here!

    Way to go with the weight loss so far this is a great app to keep you accountable. I have about 40 lbs to loss. My jouney has had its ups and downs but I am going to get there!

    Hita! Congratulations in your weight loss so far, I have a similar amount of weight to loose as you and am taking it slowly on purpose (based on the fact this is the first time I have ever owned a pair of trainers!)
    Good luck and welcome to the community!
