This is my first blog ever but I am so excited to have found a site of fellow bander's. At this moment I am 376 lbs but my heaviest was 386 lbs. I am not shamed of telling my weight I am shamed for letting myself get like this. I got real depressed after I had my son, I gain so much weight when I was pregnant with.
