I am a 46 year old woman who has been large all of my adult life. At my worst I weighed around 356 when I got married in 2006. Over the next 4 years I slowly lost some of that but in August of 2010, weighing 310 lbs, my son told me that he really wanted me to lose weight. I drug my feet and l had only lost 30 pounds by Christmas 2010 which was ok  and then I joined this site. From January to August of 2011 I went from 274 to 197 and I felt GREAT. The I stopped program all together and gained back 18 pounds. I am back on board since mid January and seeing the numbers move back down. I see my son in July and he has no clue about the weight loss, I didn't get to see him last year and so the last time he saw me I weighed 310 pounds My goal is to be at 175 by the time I see him so I have 33 pounds to go. My ultimate goal is to reach 135 as soon as possible.

**Update 8/14/12 ==Hagen was happy with the progress but I failed to meet my goal and weighed 212 when I saw him.  Unfortunately I am having to start all over once again. Weight went back up to 218.6 so back on the horse one more time!

**updated update 12/3/12** - Well I am back on the wagon again. I hit 225 lbs purely by refusing to be good to myself. It is time, no excuses... I have to get back on track and meet my goals, my well being and my family are depending on it.
