Newbie here :)
 

My name is Jaymee, I'm 25, I live in Southern California and I'm addicted to sweets. No really, I have a bad sweet tooth. Just to name one weekness. :)

A few years ago I reached my highest weight ever (297lbs) but managed to lose about 60lbs. Then I met my now fiance, got comfortable, and gained most of it back (281lbs). With the wedding quickly approaching I want to get down to 200lbs or even 220lbs would be mazing. But not only for the wedding, I want kids and at this weight that's not possible. Since starting again I'm down to 261lbs. I'm watching what I eat, and as strange as it might seem, to work out I use Nintendo's WII. It's more effective than walking 5+ miles a day.

I thought I could use a place like this to help encourage me. I have my mom, who, with the help of GB, has lost 80+ lbs but it's just not the same. If that makes any sense at all.
