Hello everyone, my name is Reesa.

I'm just restarting my weight loss journey (there've been some ups and downs over the years), and would love to be able to have people to talk to that are in the same boat of needing to lose a significant amount of weight. Below are some of my stats.

Age: 28
Start Weight: 520.2 lbs
Current Weight: 512.6 lbs
Goal Weight: 180 lbs

I've been overweight since I was 6 years old so I don't even know what my true goal weight should be, but that won't be figured out until I'm much closer to that number.
My weight has been hovering at or around 500 lbs for the last 4 years and at one point I had lost over 80lbs, but life happened and I gained all the weight back plus a few of their buddies.

I do have a lot of familial support, however there's only so much family support and accountability I can handle before the urge to rebel comes into play. Hence, my desire to branch out and meet new people to talk to.

I look forward to the journey ahead.

Hi Reesa! Welcome and good luck with your journey. :) I haven't been on much lately, but 3FC is a great place for support!

Hi Reesa and welcome to the board. This is a lovely forum. It's not just about diets and exercise ( although that is important) it is also about friendship and support when your weight loss/life journey hits a bump in the road.
How are you planning on losing your weight?

I seem to be one of the few on here from the UK so I love hearing about where everybody lives!
Good luck!

Welcome Reesa! Good luck with your goals! You can do this. Please share your attack plan. :)

To lose weight I'm going to be following the Leptin Diet which is more of changing how I'm eating. There isn't a really big focus on counting calories, it's mostly about following the 5 rules consistently. I, also, have a FitBit to track my steps when it comes to exercising. Because of how large I am I do have some mobility issues which is why most of my exercising will be on the Elliptical machine I have in my home.

Another thing I've done is gone off of most chemicals. I have a sensitivity to Propylene Glycol and Nitrates, both of which are in a lot of processed foods. Due to the chemical sensitivity it's forced me to focus more on natural foods and foods with very little processing.
