I was on this forum a few years back and I'm here again to make a fresh start. I gained even more weight in the spring when my Dad died and I hit an alltime hight of 225lb. I've managed to get back to 205lb and that 200lb mark is getting closer every day.

I have an external reason pushing me in addition to all the internal ones about feeling good, health etc. I am taking courses to become a real estate agent. I know that being successful means looking professional. We all know that it is hard to look professional when you are obese. Anyway, I have something else to look forward to when I lose the weight.

I am following the Dr. Phil plan, and it seems to be working for me. I have gotten rid of all the junk food in the house and I am exercising regularly. I just hope that I can keep it up.

I look forward to reading all your posts to keep me motivated
