I am in college and i sort of work for myself taking care of 3 wonderful older ladies who have their own dreams for me to open my own nursing home or retirement community one day. I plan on getting my PHD in Psych and one day to have my MD in Neurology. I battle with one very basic health issue outside of my weight and its a brain tumor and its something that you can't just fix with surgery so i find a lot of happiness with working out especially with the chemo treatments and things but other then that life is always busy big family and im a very much family person which has made my weight loss hard cause one person who i need support just emotionally is my dad and he docent understand the wanting to lose weight so and id like to do it without surgery except eventually skin removal.

My highest i was is 400lbs when i started back in 2009 i lost a lot drastically by not eating or having a love for food. Now i have a love for food and try to feed and fuel it for my day. the smallest I've ever been is 250lbs and with the steroids given while doing chemo over the past couple of years so this past year I've stopped them because all it helped me really wasn't be in as much pain in my spine so I've been learning how to take care of my pain and other things with a more homieopathic approach with oils and turmeric and other things so i came across this site looking for calorie info for something to track calories and i said hey why not give it a try.
