Hi all! I stumbled on this site looking for some weight loss information and support and absolutely love it!

I suck at introductions so i thought i'd introduce myself. My name's Sheril and i'm 23 years old. I've been battling my weight loss for a long time now, since I was atleast 15 is when it all started. I hate putting the blame on things but after I had my heart surgery when I was 13 (Birth Defect), The weight just kept coming on.

I used to way 120, but slowly the weight crept up to 225. Just recently i've gotten REAL and decided to lose weight, and im trying to get my life back on track. I got a primary doctor and she sent me to go get a bloodtest, cholesterol, anemia(sp?) and most importantly Thyroids which runs on my dads side of the family.

Still waiting on my test results.

I rejoined weightwatchers for the third time following points and the momentum plan. And I walk now as much as I can or use work out dvds if I cant go out walking.

Some fun info about myself, I'm an artist and musician in training, I love to draw, paint, write and also my friend is teaching me guitar. And i'm going to school over the summer to become a CNA (Certified Nurse Assisstant) And get out of working in the Retail environment.
