I'll come straight to the point. I weigh over 340 pounds! Over 340! I can't believe my weight has slowly spun out of control and I'm this large. I don't think this is what is meant by "Go big, or go home". I'm here to start tracking, caring, walking....LIVING! I KNOW I have the strength and tenacity to achieve this. I HAVE GREAT THINGS INSIDE ME. 2009 GOALS Starting weight *351 (YIKES!)
