I'm a tall lady and have struggled with my weight for most of my life. Many of my relatives are also overweight or obese and I guess I at some point just got used to it. But now I'm nearing thirty I feel that a change in lifestyle is in order. I want to live long and be healthy, feel good and not constantly worry about being big.

My partner of 2 years does not care about my weight much, so I have to find the motivation to lose it within myself, not other people. I have no children yet but want to in a couple of years, and it would be good to be fitter before I get pregnant.

I also grew up a Jehovah's Witness but am now an atheist/agnostic. I believe some of my lifestyle choices were heavily influenced by my upbringing.

Looking forward to finding likeminded people and hopefully a supportive and motivating community.
