"Where to start...a little about me I guess...I am 32 years old. I am 6' tall and nearing the 300lb mark which scares me to death. Everyone always ensured me my weight was because "I was so tall." The last time I remember being "thin" was at about age 12. Once I started high school it all "blew up" from there. Over the last 16 years I have put on a few pounds, 136 to be exact. I have done all the fad diets and had results but I wasn't able to live on the "diet" plan. My husband and I have been unable to conceive on our own, or after three IVF cycles due partially to PCOS.

This isn't my first rodeo on FS and I hope it will be my last. This seems to be the only place I am successful. The members are sincere, many in the same boat. I've learned from my mistakes and have set smaller goals for myself. It is time for a change and I have to stick with it. There is no room for excuses, no time for them either. I have to do this now, no time is better than the present."

I sit here reading those words, kicking myself as they have been there for almost two years. Whatever successes I previously had are now long gone and I am right back where I started. I am hoping I have it in me to do it and stick to it this time. I gave up smoking and it has been 5 months since my last cigarette (which I never thought I could do) so maybe it is a sign of changes, I hope.
