Hello everyone!

My name is Hannah~! It's nice to meet you all and I hope that we can motivate each other to lose weight!

When I was younger I was very athletic and ran track. I used to weigh 118 until I began working when I was 16. Nearly all of the jobs I've ever worked never required much physical labor, but the long hours would leave me exhausted at the end of the day. All I would do when I came home is eat and relax. It didn't help that a year and a half ago I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. IC made it incredibly hard to function, and some days I couldn't even walk. Now that I'm on medication to help tide the symptoms, I am able to move more freely (though cars are still painful to ride in!)

Now I'm 23 years old and last month I weighed 161, the most I've ever weighed in my life!

My husband has gone out to sea for two months and will not be back until September (I miss him so much! I cry almost every day!) But I want to surprise him when he comes home from sea~ I want to lose as much weight as possible so that when he comes home he is shocked at how well I've taken care of myself and how much I've changed. I'm not only going to change on the outside, but I am working on being a better person on the inside as well.

I joined the forums and immediately saw a July weight loss competition! I joined in on it and I'm working out hard everyday!

Wish me luck everyone!

You'll find lots of support on here and I think your goal to get healthier for when your hubby returns is a great idea. Stay strong and keep focussed!
