I've been overweight since I was a child, my mother tried to help by putting me on diets, unfortunetly I only turned into a huge yoyo-dieter & I have let myself reach an extremely unhealthy weight. My weight holds me back greatly & keeps me from reaching my full potential. I have tried & tried a million times before to "fix" this with quick fix diets etc, but now I'm really ready to lose this weight & be healthy\happy, the slow healthy way. I know this won't be overnight, and I know there will be ups & downs but this time I won't give up...I'm looking foward to getting to know all of you & give\get support\motivation
