I started battling my weight at 20 years old. I had gone through a very stressful breakup and the stress threw my body and hormones all out of whack. It set off my PCOS and I ended up gaining over 100 pounds in less than a year. I was watching everything I ate and exercising 3-4 hours a day at least five days a week, and still I gained weight by leaps and bounds. Fast forward another 20 years and 100 pounds and I had reached 325 pounds.

I had tried diet after diet over the years, but nothing worked for long. I always gained back any losses I made.

I had mostly been bouncing around between 310 and 320 for several years and just knew that my weight had been about to jump up. I decided to try yet again, and this time it is working. I'm down 25 pounds and counting. I only have 7 more 25 pound goals to go

Yay for you! So happy for you.

Wow that's awesome!!

Congrats. That's fantastic. Do you have rewards set up for your mini goals? Because you definitely deserve it ^_^

@Baker23... I do plan on rewarding myself for each 25 lbs lost, but I do not have specific rewards written down for each one; I think it will depend on the time of year for each milestone. My reward for the first one is a day of tubing at a ski place about an hour from here. Unfortunately it will take a couple of weeks for mine and hubby's schedules to permit it, but that's okay with me. The one thing that I will not do is give myself food rewards. I have come to realize that the decadent desserts and rich foods that I absolutely love have worked hand in hand with my irregular hormones to get me to where I am, and neither is welcome in my life any more.
