My oldest daughter is 28, and I have been obese ever since. Finally, after my high weight of 255lbs in January, I am no longer obese. I started MFP at 247lbs in March of this year. It has been a struggle, as I have a very large umbilical hernia, but, I have now lost 76lbs, and I AM NO LONGER OBESE, and PROUD of the work I have done! Hernia surgery next month, and I will post more pic's then without the lump in the middle. I THINK I finally figured out how to put pics in, so, there should be pic's this time!
