I'm 29 now and, for those of you who are in your early and mid-20’s, let me tell you it will only get harder to lose it every day from there out! People used to tell me that, but I thought I wouldn't notice it until 35 or later. SO NOT THE CASE!

I was always thin growing up and even through college. I gained a few pounds in law school, but manageable amounts I was able to lose quickly when I tried. Then I got married in 2008 and since then I've gained 17 pounds in "Happy Weight" celebrating and taking trips and celebrating some more. I have never weighed this much, and I’m really having to work to take it off. I'm hoping all this "community" stuff will help keep me motivated!
