Hello everyone! This is my first time posting on here. As I said, my name is Jenn. I am 23 years old and I weigh 295 lbs. I've always been heavy, even as a child and I have never ever been successful at any kind of weightloss or exercise program. I'm ok with that though. It just means i wasn't ready yet. BUT now i am ready and now is my time, so this time I really want to lose. I started a blog on myspace, but realized I wasn't delivering to the proper audience and therefore was not getting any support or feedback from anyone, not even my friends. Not that they don't want me to succeed, but they just don't understand what i am going through, so therefore don't really have much to offer.
So hopefully, I came to the right place for my support. Just to warn y'all, I sometimes get whiney, sidetracked, and i like to make excuses. I am a challenge within myself. But like I said, I really want to do this so I can finally feel healthy and better about myself. Looking forward to mingling with everyone!

Hi Jenn!! Welcome, you have come to a great place for support and understanding from a group that is in all stages of this journey. I am about 5 months in and 49lbs lost and still chugging along. I started at 289. SO are you following a plan or doing your own thing? DO you have any plans or goals for excercise?
Again, Welcome and good luck!!!!!!!!!!

Hey Jenn, welcome!
I have been at this for almost 3 months now. Yikes! probably the longest I have stuck with any other attempt at weight loss. I think this board and having the support is what has made the difference. Like you said, it isn't like friends or family don't want to be supportive or want to see us fail. I think they just don't know how. no one understands what it is like to loose/try to loose such a large amount of weight except for people who have been or are right there with you. There are a great bunch of ladies here and please come on it and make yourself at home!
