Hi I am relatively new here. I posted an introduction post in the 100 lbs to lose support group but when I saw this main introduction forum I thought I would post here too.
My name is Amber and I'm 31 yrs old. I am 5'6 and 280 lbs currently (15 lbs down!). I'm more focused and determined to lose weight than I have ever been before. I am married and have a 2 yr old daughter. I have always been overweight. There was never a time when I wasn't eating poorly. The highest weight I have ever been is 300 lbs a few years ago. Since then I have always kept it under 295.
Side note: My username stands for Type O Negative girl, my favorite band. I always get weird looks for it. I've had the same username everywhere since I was like 15 yrs old.

on being down 15 lbs! That's fantastic! Stick with us here and you'll never get close to 300 lbs again! You can do this! Good luck!
