Big Girl, Big Goal

Hello everyone, my name's Sara. I'm 22 years of age, 5'3", and 352lbs. I've had a weight problem since I was a child and over the years have tried numerous diets including Weight Watchers, the pill Alli, and considered surgery at one point. In 2010 I lost 80lbs over the course of 6 months because my doctor had put me on a diet because of my cholesterol, but the diet caused me to have liver problems and to become borderline anemic. I gained the weight back, plus some.

I just started with a weight loss clinic in my area and found this site via the iPhone app hoping for something to help me count my calories so I can become more aware of what I do eat and how much. I'm hoping the community here can help me with more tips than the clinic has given me and make this journey (my goal weight being between 180lbs-150lbs) less of a stress-inducing thing.

Thanks for your time and I hope to get to know all of you!
