Hi, I'm 35 years old, single (but looking! LOL) and live in Northern NJ. I first joined eDiets in late May of 2000. So far, I have only lost about 13 pounds, and I admit, I'm having a really hard time staying focused. The most I have ever weighed was 223, which was last year at Thanksgiving. I don't have any photos of myself at that weight because I used to hide from the camera! I gained over 70 pounds in a very short period of time (6 months) because of many emotional upheavals in my life in 1999. I stopped exercising and ate everything in sight. I began eDiets at 214, and would like to get down to 140, ideally to 130, but I'll decide on the final number when I get closer to goal.
If you're wondering why I'm posting on this board, it's because of two very special people who I met in the chat when I first joined......Jillyfish and Mrs. Mootz. Although I had 84 lbs to lose when I started, I felt a kinship and camaraderie with them..........and in subsequent months, as I've posted here, I've felt that same kinship and warmth radiating from everyone's posts. This is a very special group of people, all here to help and support each other on the journey to health and fitness (and thinness!!) I know I've found my "home" here on this board......
The photo I've submitted here was taken when I weighed 193, and currently (11/20/00) I weigh 203........
