I'm new here and came for some much needed motivational support and hope. My journey began 6 years ago when I gained a ton of weight. At my peak I hit 205! My weight loss journey has been gradual. Last year I got down to 170 and maintained loosing only 8 pounds over the course of that year. BUT I didn't gain!

After seeing pictures of me from July 4th (from one of those cruel wide format cameras) I decided it was time for me to get my butt back in gear. I was at 158 on that date.
Today I am at 148. It has been a difficult journey and taken a ton of dedication and commitment. Now that I am down to my final 18 pounds to lose, the scale is going extremely slow. I finally resorted to taking my measurements on Monday so I can track the progress.
Total lost to date 57pounds! 18 pounds to go!
