Thank you so much @coruscate. I am so glad to have a chance to tell my story. I am not the only one to succeed at this feat. This is one of the things that drives me. I still cannot got over how easy the weight was to lose once I had the right mindset and took action.

Currently 7 out of 10 Americans are obese and overweight, so I often feel like a big failure. I really appreciate your idea and a place to post where I can find new people to talk to.
