Well, I've been heavy all of my life. I have tried every diet out there. In my adult life I have gotten down to my lowest 218 in 06, but now I'm back at 247 size 18, creeping back up to my highest 256. At only 5'5" that gives me a BMI of 41.1. As much as I love Torrid and Ashley Stewart I would be happier if I never had to step through those doors again! Diabetes runs in my family and I definately need to get this weight off of me before I get older and also fall victim. In 2000 I had acn occupational injury where I fell off of a pole about 14ft in the air. Ever since then my knees bother me sometimes. This would probably be 90% better without the extra weight. Some people look at me ans say you don't need the surgery. Well, I know what's best for me and I need permanent help. Love coming on this site and love seeing all of your progress and journeys. I'm looking forward to meeting new people that are also starting thier journey towards better health.
