I am a 25 year old woman from Indiana. I work at a non-profit that works in HIV/AIDS prevention and counseling. I have been dieting all my life. This time it is going to stick. I am not going to gain the weight back. I committed to the weight loss on November 11th, 2009. My starting weight then was 338.8 lbs, I have since lost over 100lbs by eating less that I am burning. I have a ways to go and I know maintaining will be difficult. I have always been heavy and I am built big, I am 6'3, so I know I will never be a size 6, but my goal is to be healthy.
My basic diet philosophy is eat less than you burn. Eat a lot of fiber, and drink a ton of water. Also don't drink your calories away, except for skim milk.
I know I can do this. I am staying positive.
My husband just recently joined he is JustinPenland60.
