Making a lifestyle change!

For many years, I suffered from over-eating and depression. Well, not anymore! I've been in control of my depression for almost seven months (which in turn put me in control of my over-eating), and I think it's about time I take control physically.

I've been overweight for almost 20 years and am currently at my highest weight ever. However, I feel good and that makes me hopeful. I weigh 275 lbs and am only 5'4" (BMI around 48). My goal weight is 150-160 lbs.

Right now, I feel confident in myself, but I know there are going to come times that I will need some extra support. So, I wanted to introduce myself to the board and offer myself as support for others as well. Hello and good luck to everyone in their struggle!!!
