So I pretty much struggled with being overweight for as long as I could remember. When I was 17 and decided to join the army, they told me to lose weight. So I did. 160lbs was my requirement to enlist for my height of 5'4". 3 years later I married my childhood honey and got pregnant with my first girl. I went from 160lbs to 220lbs. I ate terribly. 5 months later I was pregnant with my 2nd girl. 220lbs to 260lbs. I pretty much gave up and gained to 269lbs before I realized I couldn't torture my body anymore. This was March of 2015. I lost to 256 lbs (woohoo!) And got pregnant again with my last little girl. This time, I ate right and walked. A lot. They day I had her, I jumped on the scale. 244! Now I'm down to 227 and my final goal is my army weight of 160lbs. Care to join me on my journey? :)

    Ex-Army, started off my journey solo at 398lbs. Knocked it down to a plateau of 325lbs and started on here. I'm now at 295 and I've got 95 more to go. Hop in, we've got a ways to go.

    Thank you for your service, ayrivera889 and BinaryFu! I'm looking at 40 pounds to lose, to start and then another 30-40 after that. It's a long road, but I am ever hopeful!
