in Introduce Yourself
Once upon a time I weighed 317lbs. Now, 103lbs down and just a little longer to go. Whoa, it took YEARS for me to get comfortable with admitting my weight anywhere, even on the faceless internet! I need some supporting friends on here to keep me busting butt and staying on track! Anyone is appreciated.

    Hi Gab, I know what you mean... i couldn't except my weight for so long i made every excuse in the world after me being sick for about 9 years and then having my gallbladder out a year and a half ago made me really look at myself in a different light. I travel a lot for business and I saw how hard it was getting for me being on flights being 65 lbs over weight was hard for me i was so out of breath im only 5'2 soooo...something had to change. I'm down 28 lbs its been hard because when you run to food for comfort or just anything and you don't have that any more you really don't know what to do. I have 30 more lbs to my Goal and I'm so excited! Im actually seeing results! Id love to be your fitness Pal!

    I'm 5'7" and started around the same weight as you and got down to 204. I'm back up to 240ish now, but working on it everyday! :) Feel free to add me.
