Advsinwtloss
I'm a 38-year-old, who was born and raised in Plattsburgh, NY (Beekmantown). I have been living in the Capital Region of New York State since 2005. In 2010 I was the biggest I had ever been, 385. I decided to do something about it. March 2010 - May 2011 I lost a total of 48 pounds by myself. May 27, 2011 I started Weight Watchers and as of writing this on June 19, 2012, a little over the first anniversary of joining Weight Watchers, I have lost a total of 121 pounds and now weigh 264. I plan on getting down to 145 no matter how long it takes me. My blog is proof of how far I've come and how I how far I have to go.
