Hi everyone! I have been a member for almost a month, but have finally decided to get serious. I have been heavy most of my life, but doubled my weight 10 years ago when I got to my highest weight of 310 pounds. Since then I have been on a roller coaster but have stayed over 250lbs ever since. My husband and I are trying to have a baby, and I am serious about getting healthy to make the fun of being a parent easier. My overall goal is to lose 150 lbs, and I am ready to get started. :)
