Janelle, wow such a pretty gal! Welcome to the boards. Look around, we have so many boards here that you might find similarities to make friends.
I started at 330 lbs. and a size 28/30, and lost 47 lbs. pre surgery. I have lost another 34 since. I have never been more glad to do something for myself. I wish the same for you.
You just caught my attention anyway because Janel is my middle name. It would have been my first but my Mom and Dad battled between the two, which of course my Mom won!
