When I was in my teens and early 20's I weighed 145, wore a size 9, and thought I was a big fat pig.
I did every diet, took every pill, and exercised like a crazy woman, all to no avail. My self-esteem was non-existent. Oh, did I mention I was a size 9?
After I got married I gained 25 lbs. After losing most of it, I got pregnant. I gained 65 lbs during the pregnancy and didn't lose it before I was pregnant again. That time I only gained 17 lbs. Both times I nursed my babies and when you are nursing you can eat a lot. But when I stopped nursing I didn't stop eating.
So about 25 diets (including Phen Fen) later, here I am. I tipped the Weight Watcher scales on April 6, 2005 at 263.6. I lost 49 pounds in 6 months. I kept it off pretty good then in June of 2006 I lost my 43 year old sister to pnumonia...and come to find out, she also had leukemia. I gained all of my weight back over the next year. For the last 3 months I've been back on it and I'm back down to 235. I just joined WW Online and hope to get down to 150 eventually. Today is January 6, 2008.
