It has taken me a very long time to be able to do this! But here is it my journey thus far.
I'm 5'9
HW: 300+
CW:190
LW:183
GW: 140-150

In high school I was around 220ish and stayed there until getting pregnant with my son in 2004. I gained 80lbs with him. A week before he was due we lost his father in a automobile accident. That led me into a depression and my weight went up and down. A few years later in 2006 I moved back home and met the love of my life. we welcomed a baby girl in 2008 and I was at my highest weight yet of 300+. I stayed there for a while until in 2010 I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and my health was declining. I have no energy and life just didn't seem " fantastic" . I struggled with getting started and It wasn't until the summer of 2011 when a friend came to stay with me that I really started. It is amazing how much you can accomplish when you have a fantastic support system. Through months of ups and down I have worked my way from 300+ to183. Of course with the holidays and sickness I went back up to 190 but I want a lifestyle change and not just a diet. This year I will be focusing on toning and shaping my body to get rid of this excess skin. All the Doctors told me it was impossible with out surgery but I did it. If I can I believe anyone can. This is a new and I wish all of you the best yer yet full of success and goals met! Happy New Year!
