    I was always underweight! I had to gain weight to get pregnant with my first child. I was back to prepregnancy weight at 6 weeks post partum. Then we taught him to share. I gained some weight. We baked cookies and brownies to get him to eat his dinner. Then I got pregnant with my 2nd child who was 10 pounds and breech so I ended up with a c-section and had difficult exercising after. Then I had another child by c-section. Now I am only 12 pounds away from my pre-pregnancy weight from my first child! Yippee!

    I lost a bunch of weight (39 lbs). Had a health scare and then was down and out for three months. I gained 20 back. I was discouraged and depressed but now I am back on track and working hard at it.

    My now ex-husband and I basically stopped talking to each other the last 2 years or so of marriage. So, me, the recliner and junk food became great buddies. I put on 80 or so pounds in a year, eating away my feelings. Working to reverse all of that damage!!

    Drinking mountain dew like water and becoming more and more sedentary over the years.

    This time, inactivity due to a knee surgery that laid me up for 4 months and not watching my diet. I'd always been overweight but found a love of running 6 years ago and lost 60 lbs between that and eating healthily. Now I need to re-lose 15 of them. Oh well, life is cyclical. I'm back up and slowly getting my mileage back.

    I lost about 60 pounds a few years back from just biking and watching what I ate, but I gave it up. Over the next two years i gained it all back and then some from eating and drinking beer, while living a sedentary lifestyle. But that's all over now!

    I never ate well, was never very active and always moderately overweight. Then i went on medication treatment for depression and things just got way out of control. As i have been examaning this history in the past 3 months, just getting started on MFP and with a personal trainer, it shocked me to realize i have been carrying this huge weight for nearly 20 years. I was always so sure it was a temporary blip, but 2 decades is a bloody long time!!

    I was exercising & eating healthy...but I wasn't eating ENOUGH! I basically was starving myself! My metabolism went nuts! I now eat 6 or more times a day. So far it's working pretty good! It was hard for me to wrap my mind around eating that many times a day...but my old trainer MADE me do it. I'm hypoglycemic, therefore I MUST eat every couple of hours anyways. Believe me...I don't eat fast food very often...I'm not a junk food junkie...I don't drink soda or anything with caffeine in it. My body just decided to go crazy on me after my daughter was born! I've been fighting my weight for 16 years. This year...I'm sooo over it!

    I was always underweight until...I had a baby, didn't change my eating habits after my pregnancy, financially stressed over the last two years - emotional eater, had to quit my gym membership due to cost, wasn't exercising enough, getting enough sleep, and still not drinking enough water.

    But, here to change that!

    I stop smoking and gained most of my weight. Need something to do with my hands.
    Now it is time to brake the cycle.

    Not exercising, and drinking gallons of Mt Dew and eating whatever, whenever... I let myself go these past few years, idk it was like I just didn't care. That's no longer the case! :)
