august 26 cant come soon enough!

Hello everyone! My name is Morgan, I currently weigh 339lbs and started my weight loss journey back in January of this year. To be honest its been a lifetime journey....

I've always been the chubby friend in the group...the fat friend with the bubbly personality trying to cover up her lack of self worth. I lost 60 pounds back in 2008 and was below 300lbs. I, by some miracle, became pregnant. Unfortunately it was short lived and my first thing to turn to was food. I gained back the 60, plus another 30 since then.

Instead of focusing on my health all I wanted was to get pregnant. I was diagnosed with PCOS back in 2004 and thought that all I would have to do would be to go to a fertility specialist and they would fix it all.

After appointments, tests, poking and prodding I ended up gaining 10 pounds between appointments and it hit me then. I couldn't bring a life into this world living the way I was.

I had a coworker have the sleeve surgery last year around the holidays and decided that 2014 was going to be my year. I started this year, January 6th with my first information session at 375. So far after relearning how to eat and focusing on my caloric intake I'm down 36 pounds. I quit smoking a month ago, haven't drank any carbonated beverages in almost 2 months. I've also started going to zumba classes with my mom.. and I love it!!

I finally see the light at the end of this very long dark tunnel. 4 months and 4 days can't come fast enough!!!!
