My name is Samantha Im 23 and from southwest Florida, born and raised. I've been heavy pretty much my entire life, going through high school in a size 13 pants. I thought that was considered overweight, fat, now id give anything to fit into my size 13 pants. lol. I have had medical problems, suffering from thyroid issues as well as kidney issues, and at 22 went through cervical cancer. If I can overcome that I feel like I can finally shake the 100+ lbs of stress, sadness, and excess I've put on my body. I have a wonderful "skinny" husband who loves me for me, and is supportive and eating what I eat. Im looking to connect with people who know what its like, and to hopefully lose the weight together.
