Yeah, tell me about it! 5 years ago I was 100 pounds less than I was 2 weeks ago. 100 pounds!!! If you had told me 5 years ago that I would weigh this much at 26 I never would have believed you. I have every 'reason' in the book to have gained weight, but 100 pounds is clearly unacceptable.

Have been thinking about this, and I know exactly how I got to my high weight. I ate anything I wanted, whenever I wanted and didn't exercise. My problem is trying to figure out what was effective at losing the weight. I've lost 50 pounds, and I look back going, wow, how'd i do that? I still have 30 to go and have been plateaued for 6 months. In retrospect I lost the weight through lots of hard work, exercise and making healthy eating choices. Gotta get back with it, as someone said earlier, I've become lackadaisical because of the great relationship I am in... he loves me how I am, and has known me since i was about halfway through the weight I've lost so far. Sometimes I wish he weren't so accepting... but then again, I don't because he does love me for who I am. I'm going to go with that.... and lose the rest of the weight for me.
