This is my first time to this forum. A few years ago I lost around 60lbs with the support of a different forum.
My name is Lisa and I am morbidly obese....I like to be blunt with myself about this fact because I feel like it puts things into perspective for me. MORBIDLY obese.....that's tough for a 23 year old to hear.
My highest weight was 280lbs about 3 years ago. At that point I put my foot down and lost 65lbs to reach my lowest of 215lbs. Over the last 3 years I have slowly gained back 50lbs and reached 265 about a month ago. I'm waiting for my new scale to get here in the mail (I stopped trusting my old one) so then I can find out my true weight right now....my guess is around 258.
Anyways, in life I am pretty confident....which I have not always been....it's been a long learning process, but I find myself being a better and more outgoing person when I am living a healthy lifestyle. I have lots of reasons for wanting to lose weight, but I'll be honest and say that a recent breakup resulted in me finding that deep place inside me that got me working out again.
I look forward to getting to know yall. From what I've seen so far, this seems like a great site!
