Hello All !

I stumbled into this forum after trying to find a local weight loss support forum ( to no avail ) ! So here I am, hope you don't mind me joining up.

I am finally ready to do something about my weight. I have hit rock bottom, which I suppose is a starting spot, I know I can't get much lower than where I am. I have attended a hospital endocrinology / obesity clinic to help me on this weightloss journey; mind you it took me 5 years to get to this clinic ... I never would attend prior appointments.

Ive anticipated that my journey will take close to 2.5 years as I have quite a bit of weight to lose; 299 pounds, however Im now as focussed and ready as I've ever been. I am now 453 pounds and have set a goal weight of 154 pounds.

So here I am, looking for support, idea's and just wanting to chat to people that are in the same position as I am. It's always far more comforting knowing that I'm not alone !

to all and I look forward in sharing our journey's together !

Helen
