My weight has always been an issue in my life. I was the fat kid that turned into the fat teenager and then became the morbidly obese adult. 3 1/2 years ago I reached my highest weight ever at 560lbs. After years of depression and failed attempts of trying to lose the weight I made the decision to have gastric bypass surgery. My goal was to lose 330lbs and get down to 230lbs. I have not made it yet. In fact the lowest I came was 302lbs. That was an almost 260lb weight loss. Fantastic! many would say, but that inner voice of mine beat me up and said it was not good enough and I have fallen into that semi- depressive state again. I have busted my butt but it has not been good enough. I have fallen into old habits again and over the past 8 months I've regained 50lbs. I refuse to give up on myself. I set a goal and I want to achieve that goal. I WILL achieve that goal. I received this e-mail the other day and decided to join this challenge. I'm not in this to win money or whatever other prizes there are. I joined to find support and to support others. Whether you have 5lbs to lose or 200lbs, we all need support! So I'm super excited to start this and I am READY TO FINISH THIS! Let's all FINISH THIS!!
