I joined GoodLife on February 20, 2010, my 17th birthday. I weighed 337 pounds and desperately wanted to lose weight but didn’t know where or even how to start.

A trip to McDonald’s for breakfast always consisted of 2 Egg McMuffins, 2 hash browns and 2 drinks. I was eating for 2 people and it showed! I had season’s tickets to the Windsor Spitfires and I insisted on eating at the hockey game where the meals were doubled up again.

When you add to that biweekly trips to McDonalds and all the chips and cookies in the cupboards it is easy to see how I became so overweight.
As a kid in school I was teased and bullied because of my weight problem. Because of the bullying I didn’t join in when the other kids were running around and playing.
