So I started this journey in August 2009 at my highest recorded weight of 350#. August 2009 Went down as low as 285# around December of 2010 by watching portion sizes and walking. Stopped doing that and almost immediately sprang back up to around 320# where I pretty much hovered for the next couple of years. October 2011…

If ever I see that man again...
My weight loss journey started about 3 years ago and I was at my highest weight of 351. 2009 I had to travel to MN from GA by air and I was so embarrassed that when I sat down in my seat, my seatbelt would not buckle.
