My name is Erika. I am 22 years old and a recent college grad. I am so happy I found this website because I feel it will help to make this process so much more easier.  I have been battling my weight ever since I can remember. I am currently at a whopping 334lbs....the most I have ever been in life. I have to admit that I never thought that I would get to this point. But now that I am here, I am ready to do something about it before it is too late.

I have always been pretty active. I took dance for close to 12 years and stopped my sophomore year of college. I loved doing different activities, but as much as I did it never seemed to help me lose weight. I have tried so many different weight loss programs, from weight watchers to the Atkins diet and nothing seemed to work for me. I would always get upset with myself because I would try so hard to lose this weight and nothing seemed to work.

I am the youngest of three girls in my family. I am the only one who has battled with their weight since they were a little kid. All of my sisters are small. It gets difficult sometimes to go out with them to the mall because a group shopping trip becomes very lonely once we get inside the mall...they go to their stores and I go to mine.  I wish to be able to go shopping with them and do things with them that I could not do before.

I am at the very beginning of my weight loss journey with weight loss surgery and could use all the support I can get. If anyone has any suggestions to make this process easier please let me know. I look forward to sharing my weight loss journey with you all!!!!

LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!!!!!
