Beginning- Introduction

Hello everyone! My name is Stella, I am from Kentucky, I'm 22 years old and I currently work for a frozen yogurt store and go to school.I recently suffered what I would consider to be the worst year of my life. I lost my father in May, miscarried a child a couple of weeks ago, and my husband got hurt (mildly and he is now completely better, thank God) in a mining accident. On top of all of that, my depression has caused me to gained 20 more pounds and I'm now weighing 160. I want to weigh at the most 130 so that is my beginning goal. I would like to weigh 120 one day, hopefully that can be accomplished! My motivation is to lose this weight, it's so discouraging when people look at me and think that I'm still pregnant because I still "look" pregnant... Even though I was just about 3 months when I miscarried. I hate when people rub my belly and say "aww, you are growing so well!" and then I have to tell them "well... I miscarried."

So in order to begin my New Years Resolution, my husband and I decided to purchase a treadmill and I made an account on here last night. I am eager to get started with this process. By my birthday (31 of Jan) I want to weigh about 150 or lower but I want to remain as healthy as possible during the process. I have read many peoples success stories and heard great things about this website. I hope I can stay motivated as well as you all have throughout this process.

Thanks for reading, wish me luck!
