My name is Georgia. I am 262.8 lbs and am 5 ft 2 in. I can say I am morbidly obese. Every part of my body feels the pain of being over weight. I have severe arthritis, my disks have slipped in my back, I am borderline diabetic. My hips hurt, my knees hurt, and my heart hurts from all the memories I miss out on on a daily basis because I am not mobile enough to join my husband and four beautiful children on there adventures. My drive for this new life is so I can be fit to live longer and spend more active time with my family.

    Hey Georgia! I am right with you. I am short- just under 5 feet.. and I've been in the 260's before, and I agree that it does hurt. I hope that the app along with encouragement, that you will be able to take control of your life and be healthy and strong. I'm rooting for you!
