Hey guys (& Gals)
So this is the start of my weight loss journey. I am terrified!!! Not of the life change that's ahead of me, but of failure. I refuse to fail again.
A little about me:
I am 26 years old and married to the greatest guy ever! I have always been on the plus size team but never this BIG. In High school I was a size 14 but extremely active. I was on the volleyball team, Softball. My excuse was that I was Big Boned. lol Fast forward to college I ballooned up to an 18, wasn't involved in sports, just school and parties. I was working at a Subway restaurant when I shattered my ankle. I have had 5 operations on it and enough hardware to build an airplane. During the years following my injury I was confined to chairs and crutches and no activity at all. I ballooned to a whopping 327 lbs and a size 28. I feel so sick when I look at pictures of me. Its depressing.

I am ready now. I did Atkins back in 2004 for 2 months and lost 40 lbs. I had so much going on at the time that I stopped and gained back all 40 lbs plus more. This time feels different for me. I have never felt so motivated, My husband is being so awesome about it and is going to do Atkins as well. I am going back home (to Arizona) for Christmas this year and by that time I will have not seen my Family for over a year. I want to be down at the very least 75 pounds but 100 would be even better.

So glad I found this website. Such a great network of support.
