Hi, I am Beth. After reading this site and forum for almost a week I have finally decided to come out of hiding and join. Hooray for me! I am rather shy even on the internet.
I have been a "big" girl most of my adult life except for right after having my daughter (who is now 15). I maintained a healthly weight for a few years after she was born, but since remarrying 9 years ago, I have steadly gained weight each year. My dh is in the army and each time he deploys I lose weight (20 to 30 lbs) only to gain it back when he returns.
He is currently gone but will return in December. My goal is to have my eating undercontrol enough that when he gets home I will not fall back into my old habits, or wish to celebrate by eating all the foods he has been without for a year.
My ultimate goal is to get to 150 lbs or wear a size 12. It has been so long since I have been that small that I am unsure of what I would actually look like. But since I am 289.5 I do have a long way to go and may end up losing 1/2 my current body weight.
Anyway, I have already been inspired by the people on these forums and hope that I can keep up my motivation to be successful.
Nice to met y'all,
Beth
