What is your story?

I'm curious about everyone on here. Have you been heavy all of your life or was it something else that caused you to gain? If so, what was it?

I have always been a big girl, always struggled with keeping my weight down. I swam for 8 years competitively, eating about 2700 calories a day because I could. (Still a little over weight, but had alot of muscle and exercise to help me out.) I got tendonitous in both of my shoulders and one of my knees from over rotation, and running bleachers the wrong way. Ended up quitting. Also going through a family crisis with my parents getting divorced. Ate the same 2700 calories a day but stopped working out. I ballooned, gaining about 70 pounds. I was 17 then and weighed about 225lbs. I checked my self more recentley about a year ago and I was 249lbs. Highest I have ever been.... But I'm here now and straightening up my life. Getting back on track.

I've lost 24lbs so far and with the help of my friends here I know I can lose the rest! (:
