I thought I would update this now that I know a little more about this site. My name is Lindsay, I'm 24 and I live in Central Maine. I will be graduating from the University of Maine, Orono, in June, I just got engaged to a man who is kinder than most people are in this world. He's absolutely amazing and I can't wait to get married!

Now about my weight. I have been overweight my entire life. I do not know what it's like to be an average weight. The "skinniest" I can remember being is 210, and I was in 7th grade. I was a size 18 all through high school, not sure about my weight though. After my first semester in college I exploded up to a size 24 and about 295 pounds. I went on weight watchers that summer and lost 40lbs! I was back down to an 18. I stayed there until recently, I quit smoking, and once again my weight climbed back up, this time to 282 pounds, and a size 22. None of my clothes from this summer or last fall fit me and that is an aweful feeling. So here I am once again, but this time I would really like to loose more than 40lbs. My first goal is to get past 255 punds. My goal is to do this before I go home to Vermont for spring break, so March.
