Hello Everyone!
I am new to this forum... and am VERY excited about it! Here's my story!!!
I am a 20 year old college Junior. I have been overweight since the 2nd grade (WOW.. I know!) Well, my weight has been a constant struggle for me. My Senior year in High School I lost 60 lbs... I was SO excited! I worked SO hard for it. Then, I started to get sick and I didnt know what was wrong. I ended up having to get my gallbladder removed when I was 17. It was a result of me losing soo much weight in a short amount of time. My lowest weight in my "adult" life has been 209.. my eighteenth birthday. And in two (what see like very short years) I had managed to gain 62 lbs back. In August of this year I was at 271, I am currently at 258... its a start! Not only do I have my health to want to lose weight for, but I am also recently engaged! I am planning my wedding and I really want to look marvelous on that special day. Also, my future Husband and I are both over weight and both of our mothers have Type 2 Diabetes and it scares us. We want to be healthy individuals. So, I have a lot of weight to lose, but I have made managable goals. I hope to become close with many of you! It would feel great to be cheering on other while I'm cheering on myself! Good luck to EVERYONE!!!!
