100 pounds to lose, new to boards!

Options
Hey everyone my name is Courtney and I am on my journey of losing 100 pounds. It has been a long, drawn out struggle ever since an illness held me back for almost two years, to the point where I had put on 100 lbs and was the biggest I have EVER been. I've always been the curvy type of girl, comfortable at 170-180 for my height, 5'5", but I want to get back to my 'happy weight' so to speak. I topped out at 275 that was recorded, I may have been a few pounds heavier because I was weighed after being sick for a week at the doctor's office, and I will never see that number again!

My main goal is to be as fit and healthy as possible! I never want to be skinny, I want to be toned. I love my curves and plan on keeping them but I prefer to be under 200 lbs to fit into my favorite dresses and clothes again. Also, I feel so much better when I am around my healthy size and weight range, that feeling falls into other aspects of my life. I recently got married to a wonderful man, who's my best friend and my rock, he means the world to me! I want to be able to keep up with him on our runs and in general, and I want to be a healthy wife for him and eventually be a positive influence for when we have children in the future!

Looking forward to becoming a part of the boards and hopefully I can give and receive support!
