in Introduce Yourself
I'm Jen and I'm going to be 26 this month on the 20th. I am currently 299lbs and I am NOT proud of this. I do have chronic depression and I also have bi-polar. This does not mean I need pity or to be looked down upon like I have huge issues. I take my meds and I have 2 boys and a wonderful boyfriend. I am in college for criminal justice and this Aug I'll be graduating with a associates degree and I am a CNA as well. I don't work I stay home and take care of my kids right now. I'm looking to lose over 100+ pounds and I want to make a few friends who can help me with my journey and I can do the same in return.

    Hi, Jen,
    My name is Kimberlee, 49. I weighed 304 when I started trying to lose and am down to 200 right now. I suffer from major depression and ptsd and am in counseling and take my meds and am currently stable. I was a CNA before becoming a nurse. I don't work due to becoming physically disabled from all my overweight health issues. I am trying to get as healthy as I can, but know that I will never be able to return to my love of nursing. We can do this. Please feel free to add me.
