Hi, my name is Amanda, I'm 38 and I have 100lbs to lose (I'm 5'5 and weigh 240lbs). I have several health issues and have put myself last for years. My 9yr daughter passed away little over a year ago and I've decided that I have to live for her so that I can make the world what she would have if she had been given the chance to. I hope that I will meet some of the wonderful people on this site and that we will be able to support one another though this wonderful uphill battle. All the best!

I've found this site to be a wonderful place for encouragement and a really good way to stay motivated and accountable - Looking forward to seeing your transformation when you reach your goal!
