185lbs -150lbs In 3 months 5'5

I had always been a thin child. Around my second year in high school I started to gain weight each year until I was 50 lbs over weight. It was horrible. I kept going up pant sizes and it didn't seem to phase me. A size 4 to a size 12 in 3 years. Around the time I found I wasn't making it into college because i couldn't get a loan I started to become depressed. My parents were losing our house and cars. I was going to be homeless and I just couldn't figure out my next step. I Ended up Running everyday twice a day.. and rollerblading off and on. ( total 90's trash, i know. )

Maybe close to 5 miles a day. And before I knew it I lost a good amount of weight. unfortunately at this time I kind of .. gained most of it back. I moved 300 miles away and started a new life with my high school sweet heart. I started drinking water which isn't something I did. I didn't like how it had a lack of taste. It would make me gag. I ended up drinking it though to help me be hydrated and I cut out soda. I didn't really change my diet all that much. I wasn't over eating. I ate maybe once a day because i was super busy trying to fix my broken life.









I know it isn't a total success. But.. I wanted to share this journey with people to show them that consistency is key to becoming healthy. At one point I was kicking *kitten* and feeling alive. I had a very difficult task to overcome with my homelessness and not having anything to my name. Exercise kept me sane through it all and it helped me feel empowered. I hope I am able to inspire others and myself.

Btw I am 5'5 and 22 years old. I started working out in may of 2011 and I stopped around august when I moved. Im trying to start again. Wish me luck please!
