All of u ladies r doing a great job! Keep up the great work! All of my life I've been skinny. I weighed btwn 106-120lbs. I gave weight while being pregnant, but lost it fairly quick afterward. In 2002 my dr put me on a med that made me constantly hungry. It caused me to gain 60lbs in 8mons. I felt horrible about the way I looked n when other ppl said things to me sbout my weight gain. I grew out of all of my clothes. I had my daughter in 2004 n then weighed 175lbs after. I had my son in 2007 n weighed 175lbs after. I moved to a small town in Michigan in 2002 n the ppl made fun of my weight. Feeling so bad I just gsined more. I moved back to Florida in 2009. Btwn 2007-2012 I got to 220lbs. In just a month that summer I went from 213 to 220lbs. I was horrified at what I saw in the mirror. Bc of another med I was on it caused me insomnia. So my dr put me on a med to help me w sleep n anxiety. It caused me to lose my appetite, but it also helped my anxiety n depression. Didn't help me w the insomnia though. My dr kept me on it for what it was helping me w n raised my dose. The loss of appetite lasted a yr. I lost weight very quickly n was healthy. I made sure I at least ate something at least once a day even if I wasn't hungry. Now I have a small, but ok appetite. Over the past 20mons I've lost around 5lbs a mon, sometimes more n sometimes less. I now weigh 134lbs. My goal is 120lbs. I use this goal bc I based it off the BMI chart n it says the healthiest weight for me is 120lbs. I've got 14lbs to go. Any of u struggling out there, u can do it. I've been there. I tried dieting n failed bc I felt hungry all the time. Now I don't. I also have changed to eating very healthy food. No more fast food, junk food, buffets, etc. That's a once in a great while treat. Strange that some meds we r put on make us gain or lose weight as side effects. It was the cause of my gain n weight loss. I stopped taking the med that made me gain when I gained 60lbs. Then I couldn't take it off n kept gaining bc I was depression eating. I also believe the med I'm on now keeps me from depression eating bc it controls the depression I had n my anxiety. I wish u all the best of luck. The best advice I can give now is don't give up. I gave up for 10yrs. Now w determination I'll be at my goal weight by my 2yr weight loss journey. My goal is 100lbs n I'm 14lbs away. I'm so proud. I love the compliments I get from everyone now. It makes me feel even better n makes me stay on track. The worst part of that 10yrs was when grown adults made fun of me for being overweight, calling me fat n rude names n laughing for no reason. Also the encouragement I got when I moved back to Florida helped even though I still gained for 3 more yrs. I have great friends, great kids, n a great man that I met in 2011 that love me no matter what I weigh. They mean the most to me bc of their loving support.

Here I am! New here!

I'm weighing in today at 246. On my way down to....185 eventually!
