Hello all! 
A brief introduction. I'm a 27 year old woman living in Florida, my weight loss journey started shortly before my 25th birthday, when I believe my "quarter life crisis" started. Laugh all you want, I'm sure some are rolling their eyes over that term. But it's true! It was a few weeks before I turned 25 when I kind of had a "moment" that could be best described as "what the heck have I done with my life the last 25 years?!".
I spent majority of my life either overweight, and as I got older, became what would be called morbidly obese at 305lbs (my highest weight). I spent so many years ashamed, embarrassed and downright uncomfortable! And I knew that I wanted more for my next 25 years of life. So I started my journey, basically eating less junk and moving more. And with a patience, the pounds starting to come off and I found myself at 217lbs.
Sadly I kind of hit a plateau around August 2013. Then I got kind of lazy, then REALLY lazy in my eating and work out routine. I'd attempt to get back into the swing of things, but it wouldn't really last long. Amazingly enough at the time I didn't see ANY difference on the scale. I was somehow able to eat junk and sit on my rear, and not gain an ounce! Yay for having a metabolism, right? Wrong! Eventually all of my poor choices have started to catch up with me. I know that I have gained 15-20lbs back. Not to mention my endurance for physical activity is now very poor.
So! Here I am, hoping to find a group of people who can relate to the struggle. Maybe find some motivation and get back on the track I've seemed to completely derailed from!
