Hi, I am married and have a 14 month old son. I have had trouble with weight my entire life but have never been this bad. After having my son I was 270 lbs but then I had menstrual cycle complications and i am now around 350 lbs. This is so scarey to me because it is life threatening to be this big. I want to be around for my son and future kids/grandkids. SO now is the time to change. I hope I can find buddies here and can support you as well as you support me. we can talk on here, through email, or even snail mail.
I hope to meet a lot of nice encouraging people.
And remember you are all wonderful :)

    I have been and am where you are now:)

    I weigh over 350 now, but my doctors set my goal at 240 because I'm 6' tall and am built like a linebacker.

    (broad shoulders, muscular, etc).

    I started this journey at 578 pounds.

    Feel free to friend me, or on facebook, you can find me at http://www.facebook.com/Soon2BFormerFatChicks (a page a friend and I write together daily for motivation for each other)

    *hugs you tight*
