Hi Everyone, I guess I will start my journel by introducing myself and telling you how I got here.

I live in S.Calif., and will be 36 soon (I can't believe I am that old) I have two sons 5, and 14., and have been married to my husband Steve for 6 years.
I didn't start to struggle with my weight till after my son (youngest) was born, I have always weighed about 120 pounds and growing up I was probally underweight. I had the shock of my life when at disneyland I got on the scale and it said 186...if I wasn't at disneyland I would've cried. I knew that I was overweight but being skinny all my life I just didn't see it, I don't feel fat, but I look it and I guess I knew I looked horrible because I never take pictures and hide from cameras, maybe so I could hide from reality.

Most of my weight is in my stomach, I look pregnant and people have been asking me lately when I am due, and I even had a lady (stranger) walk up to me and rub my stomach, that was the day I decided that I would and need to lose weight. I am currently holding 166, I lost 20 pounds on my own(before phen) but just can't seem to get below 166 even with phen. I look forward to getting to know you all, and thank you for all the support you have giving me so far, it's been wonderful!

The best introductions involve facing reality and you've clearly got your head on straight. I'm glad you started a journal, and I can't wait to see your progress!

P.S. Can you add me as a motivator in your members area? I'd like to get updates on your diet/exercise etc.

Congratulations on your weight loss so far!
