My name is Sandra and I am looking for people who understand what I am going through. I am 24 and I weigh 215lbs. I have come a long way already from 320lbs. BUT I still have a ways to go. I need support and somewhere to share my triumphs and somewhere to come when I am just not feeling strong. My husband is currently stationed in Japan for the next 2 years and I would love to lose the rest of my weight before he comes home. I have plenty of time to do it. I hope to get to know and meet a lot of friends here.

Welcome, Sandra! I'm pretty new here too. I know how you feel about coming so far, but still having a while to go. I started three years ago at 286 lbs. I've made it all the way down to 167 (pretty much the least I've weighed since 4th or 5th grade!), but I've still got about 20-25 lbs. left to go.

If you need anyone to chat with while your husband's away, feel free to send me a message whenever!! My brother-in-law just got back from a two year tour in Iraq a few months ago, so I understand that it's hard on you.

Good luck!!!!!
