I have been reading the forums all morning and figured I would post a thread introducing myself.
My name is Melissa and I am 26 years old. I just recently married my best friend on December 16, 2008. We have known eachother for 7 years and have been together romantically for 3 years. We have a beautiful little boy together. His name is Jayden Elza and he is 2 years old. He is the light of our lives
I started my journey on January 1, 2009, but that really did not last long. I believe I was on target for about 3 months and then fell right back off. My starting weight at that point was 361lbs. Currently I am weighing in at 322lbs. I cannot speak for my husband, but my driving force behind this long journey at weight loss is my son. I want to be a healthier and more active mommy for him. I want to be a mom that he is proud of and not a mom that he is ashamed to be seen with.
I am looking forward to getting to know all of you and looking forward to that support and good kick in the butt when I need it
