I'm 38 years old from Chesterfield, Michigan. About a year ago I woke up just tired of hating my life. Ok... I've never told anyone my starting weight but here i go. I'm almost six feet tall and weighed close to 500 pounds. Crazy right! I have no idea how it got that bad. I immediately turned my life around and lost over a hundred pounds on my own. My marriage ended half way through my journey .... his loss. (He cheated on me with a homewrecker from his work) The awesome thing is it gave me time to find the real me. And in doing so my fitness trainer and I fell in love. (Never thought the muscle / model type would fall for me.) So our relationship is a few months old and I was just sleeved three weeks ago. I've never been happier and im almost into the 200's. People who see me never think i weigh as much as i do cuz i am so tall. ( almost six feet) and i kind of look like a cross between Kristen Stewart and Lisa Marie Presley. I've never been happier and can't wait to take my daughter to cedar point soon.

You've done an awesome job and you look great. You're journey has only just begun enjoy the ride and as for your husband its definitely his loss and he obviously wasnt worth your time or space. Good luck.

Congrats! That's awesome. And I know how you felt. I'm around 5'8" 5'9" & people never believed how much I weighed either. Like you said prolly the height tricks them.

Sorry hubby turned out to be a jerk but it sounds like you're better off without him. I've been lucky & my hubby is supportive & needs to only lose like 10-20 pounds. He said he better get to working out so we can be healthy & active together.

Keep up the dream & share more pics when you can!!! We're all rooting for each other.

Congrats on your sleeve and your weight loss, keep up the good work.
