Just putting myself out there

edited September 24 in Introduce Yourself
I have been a member of the site since November 1, 2010, but I have never taken the time to post on the boards. I decided that today is the day to do so. My name is Judy. I am a single mom of a beautiful 9 year old boy named Austin. He is my driving force for trying to be a healthier me!
As of right now, I have lost 28.6 lbs. I have a LONG way to go still, but I know I'm on the right track. When I started, I weighed 378.8 lbs. I am now 349.6. I can't even begin to describe the feeling of being under 350 lbs! It is just amazing.
If you'd like to know more, or if there is any way I can help you, please feel free to contact me! Thanks all and God bless!

    I use the boards especially when I am feeling like munching, but not hungry or close to going over my calories...as a distraction from eating. I also joined a few challenges in the "motivation and support" forums. Those people are constantly checking in and asking how the other group members are doing on the weekly challenges. I am sure you can find one or two groups similar to your needs/interests, then, voila! Instant friends and accountability. Good job losing so much already!

    You guys are all awesome! It is so encouraging to see everyone working so hard. Whether the numbers are smaller because you just started, or you have reached the larger numbers from months at work, each and every one of you inspire me! If there is anything I can do for any of you, please feel free to contact me! Much love and congrats all!!!!
