My name is Michelle. I am 37 and live in the state of NY. I just moved here from Tennessee in July of 2008 to be with my boyfriend of 5 years. I was at my highest weight then, 330 pounds. Today I weighed in at 251. My goal weight is 140. I hope to learn new things and make new friends here.

to the site michelle! there are tons of forums.. are you following any specific eating plan? there are also forums based on age and starting weight... goals.. exercise... etc.. hope to see you around often!

Thanks so much! I guess I don't really follow any specific plan, I just try eating healthier. I cut out all fried foods and junk foods and I don't eat out anymore at fast food places. I've also stopped drinking sodas and I don't drink anything with caffeine at all anymore. I've been attempting a vegetarian diet but admittedly, I still eat seafood and chicken. And of course, I started exercising which is a great help . I do 6 indoor walking/jogging miles though I started out in July of last year doing just 15 minutes walking per day. I will be sure to check out the other forums as well. Thanks again.
