To sum it all up, back in 2005 I weighed 225 lbs. I went to the gym for a while and got down to 185, then I lost my motivation of working out. Through dieting I lost another 15 lbs and stood at 170, I hit a plateau that I just couldn't get out of. Then in 2009 I was diagnosed with a stomach ulcer. The very beginning I couldn't eat anything. I would try but then I would just throw it back up, no matter what it was. Doctor put me on a pill and with the pill I could eat saltine crackers and drink hot tea. While it was not a great way to lose weight I did, and I was down to 120 lbs. I had a lot of loose skin from the rapid weight loss but I loved myself being a smaller size.

Had some bouts of depression and stress and I put on 48 lbs. Weighing in at 168. I joined a gym again, and have cut soda and junk food out of my diet and added in fruits and vegetables, and drinking water. I started my new weight loss journey August 15th and quit smoking August 23rd of this year. I have lost 8 lbs already. So I am down to 160 lbs.

I would like to get down to 130-140 lbs.
