    Hi there. I was 342lbs when i started my journey last february. Food was my go to drug. Things were going wrong in my life, my health was failing, I was fighting depression, and I would turn to food to medicate. When my grandfather passed away last year though, I realised I needed to change. I joined a gym, started eating 5 small meals a day (1600 calories) and signed up with a personal trainer to help guide my strength training. Since then, I've lost 146lbs. I feel stronger than I've ever felt in my life, and I feel like my goal is within reach.

    SW 342lbs
    CW 196lbs
    GW 160-170lbs

    Feel free to add me or message me :)

    I am in the same boat and this is my first day on this website. I actually started my journey about three months ago and as of today I have lost 25 pounds. So far, I love this website----it's comforting to know that other people are having the same difficulties as I. Food as always been a friend of mine---through the good and the bad----food has always been there. I trying to change the way I feel about food and stop the addiction. I will friend anyone who needs encouraging because I can certainly use some.
    Good luck to all of us---Laura
