When I started this new life change I weighed in at 374 pounds and I did not like myself very much. I have been trying to lose weight for 8 years now and I am down to the last of what I want to lose. My goal is 200 pounds. I am at 247 right now but I believe I will make my goal this time I want to be around to watch all 6 of my grand kids grow up. Stay positive even if you you gain a little back just shake it off and get back on track.
