Hi to everyone. I am new to this forum but impressed at many of the stories I've read. As most of you already know, losing weight is only part of the process, many people gain it back... over and over. That is what happened to me. Now that I'm within 5 pounds of my goal, I don't want to end up as a regain statistic so I've decided to join the forum.
I guess my mind was always set on just losing the weight and worrying about keeping if off when I got there. So I lost it the wrong way. After 3 pregnancies and now being 33 years old, my body seemed to quit even losing weight at all. I was used to it coming off easy and if it didn't, I just gave up and got bigger. At 4'11, I weighed in at 203 lbs and struggled with acne, kidney and gall stones, tumors and depression. My 17 year relationship/marriage ended and life was out of control. Finally, I realized what was going on with me and decided last spring to do something about it.
Instead of starting with my body, I started with my mind. I found inspiration in the funniest place and it's working. It's even developed into a new career for me and keeps me going. So here is my most recent picture from 2 weeks ago at 107 pounds, acne free. If I come across a before pic, I will post it but there are only a few if that. I stayed away from cameras for years. Good luck to you all!
