My new start
Today I am 34 years old. I weigh 270 lbs with a small/medium frame and I stand 5'2 tall. My highest weight was 298 and that was a few years ago. My lowest weight since childhood was 220. I have PCOS which makes it VERY hard to lose weight but not impossible.
I have to change my life. I am ashamed of the way I look. I have a husband and daughter. I keep saying no to activities and events with them because of my morbid obesity.
I am choosing to take control. I am not dieting but learning to make healthy eating choices. I am not going to sit at the PC or TV all evening - I am going to MOVE and get my blood flowing.
I am powerless over food and laziness. I give my life over to God. I cannot do it alone.

Best regards!

I feel you moody
I am in the same boat. I am a little lazy too. And the hightest I ever been is 283. Then I went to 274 on my own by cutting out soda and drinking more water. Now I just started Phen on wed and I am already downt to 268 However this is home scale. I go back to the doctor on the 26th of Aug. So are weight is almost the same. But stay focus you can always hitt me up. I live in nyc. We can do this..

Welcome!
Hello kindred spirit! I'm not quite 30 (28), usually in the weight range of the 270's (but currently at an all-time high), a little bit taller than you, also married... No kids yet, but we want to have kinds and I'm just terrified of the extra strain that pregnancy would put on my already obese frame! Docs have also told me I have PCOS. Let's friend each other and comment on each other's blogs for support! You with me? :)
