Just putting myself out there

Options
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!
