Well, i am a full time college student. I am starting this journey at 257 lbs after the 2011 holidays. Once before at my heaviest (266) I had lost over 70 lbs and reached my adult life low of 192. I was so happy with my progress. It's always been hard for me to have time to work out, but I have been making it a point to set time aside as a priority to visit the gym. My ultimate goal is to have a healthy body in which I am not ashamed of, so it's kinda hard to put a number on it. If I had to, I'd say I'd love to reach a healthy weight of 155. I need as much encouraging as I can get, from ANYONE that is willing to give it... Even today as I write this, it's already gone through my head of whether or not I should go to the gym. I have a handsome man in my life, no children, but we are already planning our future and I want to make sure I am around for it all! I'm ready for this challenge and I look forward to what it has to bring!
