Hello all! My name is Michelle, I'm 31 and I'm from Akron, OH. Just found this board and was reading some posts and found it very inspiring. Went to the doctor a month ago and got on the scale at 260 pounds even.

This is my highest weight I've ever been, and I feel horrible. The good news was I survived the Thanksgiving holiday and didn't gain. I vowed to commit to eating better and started exercising more. Its so hard to do it alone. My live-in boyfriend is supportive-he even bought my a stationary bike and set it up in the living room. But I still find it a little embarassing to work out in front of him. I'm looking for anyone in the Cleveland/Akron area that might be interested in email support, or even meeting up to exercise. (might be tough with the weather...) Look forward to hearing from you!
