Hi everyone!

Thought I'd pop in and say hello. My name is Holly. I'm a 25 year old woman from Michigan (will be 26 in 4 days, woohoo!). Before 2003, I fluctuated between 165-180, all of which was OK by me (I'm 6'1). Unfortunately, life threw me a few mean curve balls in more recent years, and in turn outfitted me with a lot of extra weight, bringing me up to about 260 (ouch! Hurts to say that number!)

I'm working on accepting my own personal life tragedies, and am at the point where I think I'm ready to add the weight loss hurdle to the bunch. I could use all the support and motivation I can get, so if anyone wants to be friends, please don't hesitate to add me!!

Thanks for reading! Good luck to everyone!

    I understand the boat you are in. I have fluctuated my entire life. I was skinny in High School, would show off my body whenever I could. Got married, had babies, and now I cringe to look at myself in the mirror. It is hard, and very depressing. I have been at MFP for almost 75 days now, and have lost around 14 pounds. My doctor tells me a pound a week is the best way to lose and be able to maintain your weight.
    I really hope you enjoy this site. I certainly do. If you need any encouragement, or want a friend in the journey ahead I would be more than happy to help.
    Good luck!
