Hi all, my name is Melissa and I'm sick of being fat! I'm 24 now and I have battled with my weight since I was about 15 years old. I was always an active child who played sports, was outside a lot, etc. but after puberty everything really caught up with me.
Right now I'm at about 250lbs and I'm hoping to eventually get down to about 150. That's 100lbs and it sounds so scary but I'm ready to do it this time! I went back to the gym today for the first time in about 6 months and it felt great! Now, I just gotta stick with it.
A little about me... As I said I'm 24 years old. I'm engaged and live with my fiance and mom (who I am a caregiver for). We have a Boxer dog named Giddy and a chameleon named Roy. I love the outdoors and in the summer time we go camping almost every weekend. I live for outdoor concerts and I LOVE music! I work as a home health aide with the elderly and developmentally disabled and I love my job.
Now that I have bored you all with a mini-novel I'll be on my way. I really look forward to getting to know everyone on this site and making some friends!
