Default Hi! My name is Corrie.

I’ve struggled with my weight since I was 14. I was 5’ 11” and 140 lbs. in 8th grade. All the other girls I knew were 5’ and 95 lbs. I felt like an ogre! I figured out that I would have to weigh about 115 lbs if I wanted to be a size 2 like them (I now realize that this is completely ridiculous for someone my height).
For the next few months I starved myself and got down to 117 lbs. It didn’t last long. When I started eating again, the weight piled on so fast. I went from 117 lbs. to 230 lbs. in about a year. I reached my highest weight of 269 lbs. in college. I really want to lose this weight. For the past 2 months I’ve been doing really well. I’ve lost more than 20 lbs.
I’ve been looking at everyone’s before and after pictures and I am super inspired. You're all doing great. Keep up the good work!

Welcome, Corrie I'm new here too, and have found this to be a wonderful place of information and encouragement. I'm sure you will as well

I got the WeightWatchers at home kit. Once I get going I usually lose about 40 lbs. before I get off track. Hopefully that won't be the case this time.
