I just have to say that I about cried this morning when I weighed.
I weighed nearly 300 lbs when I was 14 years old. At the age of 16, I decided to lose weight so I starved myself and exercised 2 hours every day. I got down to 260. I couldn't maintain that lifestyle, so I stopped and ended up going back to where I was at age 14. I maintained that weight (~296) until I was about 20. I then gained up to 364 at the age of 23. Ever since the age of 23, I decided I couldn't stay content with not monitoring my weight and although I struggled, I started having successful losses a little over 2 years ago and all though I've gone through periods of losing/maintaining/struggling to lose, I'm finally back to the point I was 15 years ago. In 5 more lbs, I will have lost 100 lbs total. In 10 more lbs, I will see a number that well I never remember seeing but I imagine was somewhere around age 12.
I know a lot of women would be very frustrated at weighing 269, but let me tell you, I am extremely happy about it.
