Looking for friends who have lost a significant amount of weight naturally.

Hey guys I’m a 39 year old mom of 3 and wife. When I was young I was always on the thicker side but was always called fat by my family and it really messed with me. Fast forward to me after having my second child I began to pack on the pounds little by little each year then 11 years ago I had my last child my daughter and I just kept getting bigger till finally I had back pains, knee pains, couldn’t breath, couldn’t bend over I was not just fat but super unhealthy & unhappy. I was in pain and made excuses for myself till about the end of February 2018 I decided I was going to try to lose weight again at 5”3 & 285lbs. Well once I saw that I could do it and I was my biggest road block I started reading about nutrition, calories and all that good stuff realizing that I have been eating myself to death. Today I am 243lbs and go to the gym 5 to 6 times a week and even have my oldest son who was already following my example join me in eating healthy and working out. I would love to meet many friends who have already been through this valley and came out ontop. Thanks for taking the time to read my story God bless.
