Hi everyone! I'd like to introduce myself. I'm 28, and live in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. I've struggled with my weight for years, and would like to win this battle, once and for all. I managed to get down to around 200 pounds several years ago, but slowly and surely gained it all back and more. I hit my lowest point (and highest weight) about 2 years ago, and realized that something had to change. I went from 295 pounds down to 252 in about 6 months, and went from severely depressed to realizing that I have so much to be happy about. That weight loss allowed me to get pregnant, and I gave birth to my little boy in June. And now it's time to continue in my weight loss journey, not only for myself, but for him as well. He deserves a healthy, active mom.
I've always been great at supporting other people in their endeavors, but tend to lack confidence in myself to make my own goals come true. I'm not usually one to reach out like this, but I think I'd benefit from the support of other people who I can relate to.
