I am a 5'6" African American woman. I currently weigh 308 pounds. Having been born weighing 10 pounds, I've always been plus sized. I desire to lose weight because I know that even though my numbers are good, etc. my organs will not survive the constant over-stress caused by the added weight.

FatSecret seems to be a wonderful, full service tool to encourage me in my weight loss.

I am so excited about the journey I am embarking on...WooHoo!!!!!
