I have made a couple of posts here but I wanted to formally introduce myself. Hi I'm Kerri! I'm here to battle at the same war we all here are having with our weight. I'm 29 years old and a single parent of a 5 year old girl. I was always a chubby kid. I was the fat kid that no one wanted to play with in elementary school so I learned to be a loner and that's how I thought I had to take on this battle with my weight...alone. But after many attempts at trying to lose weight I am no where near where I want to be. Right now I'm about 245 lbs. I want to be around 130-135. So after giving up on trying to go at this alone I am here to finally get support from those who know what I'm going through. I will be 30 in September and I refuse to start my 30's off as fat!

I started my journey in October and am down about 45lbs. Welcome and good luck, you are in a great place for support and advice.

Welcome aboard Kerri!! I agree that it is so difficult to do this on your own. I am so grateful for this board because if I didn't come here I know I would've quit a long time ago. It's a long journey and we'll be glad to share every step with you. Good luck!!
