Hi, I'm DeAnna and I currently live in SC originally from WI. I'm 32, married with 2 children and 2 step-children. I am 5'4 and currently 214.5 lbs. I want/need to lose about 80 lbs to put me at my goal of 135.
I'm hoping to lose 50 before we move again in November.
I've struggled with my weight for the last 15 or so years, trying this diet and that pill only to gain back any weight I lost plus some.
Well, I've finally come to my senses and decided to do it the right way, Healthy diet and Exercise!

Wish me luck!!

Congratulations on making the commitment to losing weight the healthy way. Crazy diets and gimmicks only work for so long, but eventually the weight piles back on. Good luck - I'm sure you'll find the support here you need to reach your weight loss goals.

Thanks bargoo and smisen. Unfortunitly I'm heavier than I thought I was. My old scale was broken and not reading correctly. I found this out when my DD weighed herself and it read 62 lbs at first. So I had her weigh again so I could see and it read 85 lbs. So I had my DH try it, since we know how much he weighs and it read 132. My DH has never weighed that much and has not gained any weight. I'm really depressed.
