Hey everybody! My name is Stephanie, I'm 27 years old and live in North Carolina. I've done many diets where I've lost quite a bit and after the diet I would gain that back plus some. At the moment my weight is 355 (with my starting being 362, the most I have ever weighed) and my lowest I can recall being was about 230 pounds. Being overweight/obese is all I have ever known.

I've got quite a ways to go until I reach my goal weight... I'm really looking forward to getting to know everybody and encouraging one another along the way!

    Hey, everyone! I'm new to this group, too! (as well as MFP!) I have struggled with weight my entire life and I'm ready to finally put it all behind me. I have lost 30-50 lbs in the past, but was never successful at keeping it off. My first goal is to reach losing 100lbs! I hope I get to meet some of you guys and encourage you on your journeys as well! :)
