Default Onederland
It almost doesn't feel real.

I have been overweight - or obese - all of my adult life. I've tried repeatedly over the last 7 years or so to drop the weight. Twice, I managed to get down to about 205 (once from 220 lbs and once from just under 230 lbs).

I finally topped out at something over 270 back in November-December of last year. On April 22nd of this year, I officially - once again - restarted my journey at 260 lbs. Today, I stepped on the scale to see the glorious promised land that is Onederland for the first time ever in my adult life.

61 lbs in exactly 5 months.

I have a long way to go, yes, but I could not be happier or prouder of how far I've come. <3
