My Story

Weight:
I was around 200 lbs when I started college. My first year, when I was walking everywhere because I didn't have a car, I lost 20 lbs and was down to the lowest weight I can ever remember being: 180. When I came home for the summer, I gained it all back. I started working in the food industry during my second year of college and never got that weight back off again.
I dated a guy for two years, and in that time I gained another 15-20 pounds. Back up to about 215/220. I went through a traumatizing break-up with him and lost a few pounds because I didn't eat for a week or two.
Over the next year, I gained 30 pounds. 30 POUNDS IN A YEAR!
When I got married I was at my heaviest, 250 lbs. That was two years ago. In that two years, getting comfortable being married and having a desk job, I gained 20 more pounds. As of last month, I hit my peak at 270.9 lbs.
TWO HUNDRED AND SEVENTY POUNDS!! Are you kidding me?!?! It was too much, the straw that broke the camel's back.

Size:
The smallest pant size that I've worn as an adult was a 12. Mostly I've hovered around size 16/18, but now I'm a full-blown size 22/24.

I started counting my calories and working out here and there, easing in to exercise. I've lost almost 10 lbs in the past month and a half!
