A little about me: I'm a 34 year old female. I've been massively overweight my entire life. My story starts last year in March where I was trying to zip my blue coat up and I couldn't because I had grown too big for it. That was actually my decision point of me losing weight.
Since March of last year, I've dropped over 100 lbs (I was 277 when I started and am currently around 176). Most of my weight loss came from taking walks and portion control. I feel 100 times better and I have more energy than I ever had when I weighed my highest.
I'm sad I didn't come across this site till recently because it could've been a great boon for me. But better late now than never, they say!
I want to also wish everyone luck on their own weight loss journey and hope to support and get support as well. ^_^
and
