Im new here and am at a point in my life where I am ready and determined to make a change. Im a single 27 yr old female...Im about 5 feet 8" and I weigh 272 lbs....OUCH!!! My weight issue began about 6 yrs ago with the pregnacy of my daughter (I gained about 70 lbs. Before I had her I never ever had any kind of weight issue. I was the perfect size 7/8 with not a worry in the world but then reality set in and now Im a size 18. I cannot take it anymore so here I am, if I could afford a real personal trainer I would so go for it. So Im not going to chew all your ears off with my issues, I just wanted to introduce myself and welcome any comments (yes I can take the bad ones too).
