Height:5'4
Eye/Hair Color: Brunette, Blue
Starting Date of Weightloss Journey:
Starting Weight:265
Present Weight: 228
Goal Weight:150 is my first goal but I want to continue to at least 125 after that. So 125 I guess.
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Way too many to count! Probably just the tempation of all those tasty foods out there.
Following any specific plan: Not really just eatting healthier. All the processed foods got thrown away. No frozen meals, no pizza, no chips, deserts, mac & cheese, fries, take out food, stuff like that I used to live off of.
What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I am so much more motivated this time. I don't know what came upon me, but I am just so much more determinded and driven this time. I have learned that it's not so much a diet, but a life style change. I will not stop until I am pleased with how I look.
Anything else you would like to share with us: I was so hesitant to come on here and post anything about a month ago when I found this site. I thought it was really strange that a bunch of people who are pretty much complete strangers where so caring for one another and so supportive. But now I see that there are so many out there going through exactly what I am, and enjoy all the support I can get at any given time, about anything. You all dont even need to know someones name or anything about them, and will still give great advice and support. So thank you. It really has helped me through my journey.

First Goal: 250lb by March 2 (My b-day)
Biggest hurdle to overcome in weightloss: Myself, being lazy, and never taking the time to LEARN what I need to do to be healthy.

What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: Before I never knew how to diet. I did diets that cut out necessary nutrients which ultimately lead me to gaining all of the weight right back and then some!
Anything else you would like to share with us: I feel ashamed about my weight, and I've never shared information like this with others, but from browsing this site I finally feel comfortable and I hope that this place will help me on my journey and any rough spots that I may hit.
