Hey all,

I was recently going through childhood photos. I was a twiggy little thing until 7, or 8. I have no idea what happened but the difference in photos is startling. There's not many transition photos - in one, I am a tiny person. In the next I have ballooned up, possibly by 30 pounds or more. And I've just kept hanging on that balloon ever since!

I've lost a bit before, about 40lbs, but could never get down past 200. I'm ready now. I take my health seriously and want to be around for a long time. I love the potential that life has to offer, and I want to climb mountains and kayak and hike and swim and do everything there is to do in my short time here.

Please feel free to add me if you're in a similar boat! We can paddle this thing to where we need to go, but we all need a little help sometimes.

    My experience has taught me that for me, it's not a diet; it's a lifestyle change. It doesn't have a goal weight or an event/date that signifies it's over. Make small sustainable changes. Log everything. I'll be rooting for you.
