I was obese from the childhood, I "hit the roof" last year, my weight was 273 lbs. From June to December I lost 74 lbs, it was great success for me. But this year everything went wrong, I had stress in my job and university (I graduated this year) - and my weight went upwards.

Luckily, I didn’t gain everything back. I began may journey at 244 lbs and currently my weight is 235 lbs. I know, the first pounds are going fast down, I hope this time I will achieve my goal - 141 lbs. My dream weight was always around 112 - 115 lbs, but I think this is unrealizable.

Thank you all for this awesome forum. Sorry for my terrible grammar.

ayumkasuga! I think you will like it here . The encouragement there is for each other here is wonderful keeps us on track. I had lost 90 pounds and gained 45 back but I to like you am fighting it and I don't plan on giving up. Stress got to me too when i lost my sister a few years back. You can achieve your dream just don't ever give up. I now weigh 196 and I plan on getting down to 145 someday . See ya on the boards.
