Hello! I began to seriously work on losing weight when I stepped on the scale one day and saw that I was halfway to 500lbs last summer at 250lbs. Since then, I've made it down to 228, but of course I'm still far from finished. My ultimate goal weight is 175lbs...so I'm facing down 53 pounds! I havn't seen that number on the scale in 15 years! I've included a picture of me about a month ago at 230. Can't wait to get this done=)

    I probably should have said how tall I was! I'm about 5'9". Everyone I know in person in SHOCKED when they hear what I weigh. That's often why I struggle with BMI standards which tell me that I fall in the Obese category. From what I've read, for my height and age (26) - I'm supposed to be between 126 - 169. I think I would skeletal! That's why I'm aiming for 175, and as I approach it I'll decide if I should stop. Definitely excited to get to know everyone =)
