Oh...what to say? My name is Erica and well, the 238--is my starting weight.
I've got some health issues (Fibromyalgia & Type II Diabetes among others) which have been diagnosed within the last 2 or 3 years. I also have some mental health issues which are linked into my poor eating habits that I am trying very hard to modify. It's a struggle.

I am trying to modify my eating habits & food perceptions.
I've been overweight from about the age of 5 onward and it's been a struggle all the years since.
I want to be able to feel good about my body.

My main goal is to reach 135lbs and maintain that weight (I've not weighed that little since I was about 11years old)

I thought about it and figured I probably should set mini goals...although frankly speaking--any time the number on the scale goes down I'm happier!
