Hi my name is Whitney.  I was born and raised in Tulsa, Oklahoma and I still live here. 

My whole family is big...supposedly I am big bonned, and I believe that to a certain extent but after being said I was big bonned my whole life... I want to see if I can lose the weight for real this time.    I am in no way saying that my weight is a thing that is from my family because I know it's cuz I eat too much.  And when I eat little it's cuz I eat the wrong things. 

In 2006, I lost 55 poudns in 3 months and it by January 2008 I had gained 35 of it back. 

In 2008, I plan on going on a much healthier diet plan, I just found this site on January 28th I started it.  By the 28th I have lost 21 pounds since January 2nd! On My own.  I used January 28th as my cheat day... I don't know why I figured by using this site it would help so this is my way of beginning fresh.  I hope with support of people that are going through or have been through this struggle of weight will help me lose it and keep it off!

I just want everyone to know that I have always been big from the time I was little... there's not one elementary picture of me where I am little...I have a little cousin that is 8 year old weight 135 pounds, that's unhealthy for his age.  By dieting and losing my weight I want to show him how to be healthy! I want to have a long and successful life and the only way to start it is by being happy with myself.
