Hi all I started this journey on Sept ninth just 4 days after turning 37 yrs old and at my heaviest wt ever 314 lbs :0( I have a 3 1/2 yr old son that I want desperatly to be healthy for and see him grow up... I realize this is going to be a life change and not mearly a diet for a couple months since i need to lose a whole person in effect. I would love any support and will do my best to update as I go. As of today I have lost 15 lbs and am using a goal of 1350 cal a day. Thanks a bunch :0)

    My heaviest was 375 lbs. If you have health insurance, I would suggest bariatric surgery.

    Good luck to you! The journey of 1000 miles begins with the first step. Take it one day at a time and set attainable goals. I will keep you in my prayers. God bless you.
