Well, I suppose its time to introduce myself....

HI! My name is Courtney, Im 21 and at my heaviest, I was 227 pounds Much larger than I ever should have gotten. Im only 5'3" and when I went to Cedar Point and had to have help buckling up on the millennium force....well, I knew it was time to make some real changes.

I have been on here for about a month and have been doing pretty well. I am 8 pounds down since starting again, and 20 down since when I made my first attempt in February! My sister recently reached her goal of losing 40 pounds and has been an AMAZING support system. She is always in my corner and encouraging me when others are bothering me to eat "just one piece of candy!" (Im not a candy person and if I eat it just because they want me to, I cant have what I really want later!)

And while the support of my sister is amazing, she is across the state. I hope for more friends on here since I am on here EVERYDAY and the support on here would mean a lot!
