Hello,

My name is Aly and I spent my whole life thin and active till my mid twenties---an accident brought 50 pounds on over several months and then the last ten years another 50 and a world of struggling with weight loss and health problems. The last year I have really found my strength mentally and physically and have lost 35 pounds and am now very serious about getting the next 70 off. I am focused long term on health and fitness and have made great strides. I really want to stay focused and stay strong, I know this can happen and this forum looks like great inspiration to get it done. Life is so much better when you feel good and I really want to enjoy this life I've been given...One time around, right? Might as well get it right.
