Hello All! I'm Jess and here's a little about me. I started getting heavy when I was 9 yrs old, and coming from a family where most of the women are on the heavier side I couldn't allow that to happen to me, along with being uncomfortable in my own skin due to my weight. I'm a short little thing only 4' 11"and with my heaviest having had been almost 250 I had to do something. On April 18,2016 I had a Gastric Sleeve surgery and until September of 2016 everything was going good, slow, but good..., then it all stopped. So I'm here to get myself back on track with support from all, be supportive for all (even if I don't comment) and push myself to where I need to be. My long term goal is to be as close to 110 as possible, yup, I know it won't be easy and will take a lot of work but hey, I'm still young (just turned 46 in November) and I have plenty of time to reach my goal. Shrinking Shamrock away 😁🍀

My long term physical goal is to be able to do a cartwheel again without feeling like my arms are going to buckle under my own weight., silly, but that's what I WILL do again one day.


P S, there may be many occasions when I post something that sounds like I'm being a smart-ass, but that's because I'm trying to use humor to get people up motivated and moving as I need the sarcasm to push myself. To have an idea of how to understand my personality here it is in a nutshell, I'm a Smartass Irish brat born and raised in New England (U.S)
