Default Ahoy, I'm the latest newcomer!
My name is Jess, I've been reading posts on this forum for awhile now and finally got the courage to join!

I have been on my own weight loss journey since January 1, 2009.

I guess I ended up being larger than life, or larger than I had ever seen myself in my life, after 4 long food filled years at college.

When I was in highschool I weighed 130 pounds and was Ms. Do It All! In college my sports involvement declined and my waste expanded. I actually gained 100 pounds in 4 years, pretty scary huh? I was lucky being 5'9" people couldn't tell for many years that I had put on so many pounds!

I was actually too low for my frame type back then, and I felt and looked the best when I was 165. So here's to the newest goal! I am down from 230 to 184, so I am only 19 pounds away from my goal and then I will reevaluate and go from there!

I look forward to hearing about all of your tales and hope we can all hit our end goals!

Default Nice to meet you
This is my first time on the forum....I;m not quite sure how to use it yet. Still trying to navigate. We have more in common. I had a gastric sleeve procedure on Jan 27th starting at 234 and now I am at 186. Unfortunately I only have 63" of height to work with so I am shooting for a goal of 140. I haven't had any complications to date and am extremely happy with the decision that I made. I feel fabulous!!

Thanks so much guys!

I look forward to reading all of your stories! I really think this will be a great place to keep motivated and away from all of those junkie foods that tempted me in the past

I love this board, it really does feel like a community!
