Default Hi!!

Hi y'all! I'm here to track my progress and find support when I need it!! I would like to lose 70lbs....I'm currently 5'4 and 188lbs. Here is my story! I have always been chubby. I was very active as a child...always playing sports and playing outside but was a bit of a chunk. A few years down the road when I turned 17 I went on a wild streak and tried meth at a party. Well that one night turned into a one week binge! After I came down slept then ate...I noticed my pants were loose. So I weighed myself and had lost 6lbs!! Well that made me very excited...I enjoyed the drug plus it made me lose weight....so I eventually became addicted and lost tons of weight!! IT was awful. Whenever I got down to 98lbs I realized what I was doing to myself and quit cold turkey. The after math was a 50lb weight gain within 4 months. A couple years later My husband and I were doing great with great jobs and our whole future ahead of us!! We got pregnant and with that wonderful gift came the gift of 40+lbs that have still not come off.....so here I am. It's Time to make a healthy change.....and lose the weight!!!!!!!! It's nice to meet you all and I hope we can help each other achieve our goals!!

Hey! Welcome to the site.

I can sort of relate to you. When I was 20 I started Meth. But mine turned into like a 1 yr binge... if you know what I mean. But, I didn't lose any weight. Don't know why. I have now been clean for 2 years this July. If you ever need to chat- I'm here!

Welcome to the site, take a look around... I'm sure you'll love it here! Everyone is so friendly and helpful and supportive!

HI and welcome!!! I did meth also my senior year in high school. I was on a 6-8 month to a year binge myself. we (my friend and I)were really good friends with the dealer so we were always getting free stuff. I lost about 30-50lbs. when I was on it. I loved the weight loss. I also quit cold turkey when I found out what I was doing and how I looked. I was skinny like I wanted but it was an ugly skinny. I gained alittle weight back after that, not too much but became pregnant and gained 80lbs and haven't lost that or my 4 other childrens pregnant weight. I take that back, I am down to my prepregnant weight from my 4th child but not the other 3. Once I get to my goal, I'll be down to my 2 and 3 childrens pre pregnant weight. I know I will never be able to get down to where I was with my first child (it would be nice) but my DH will lose alot of attraction towards me. He doesn't care for really skinny girls/women. Good luck on your weight loss journey. We pretty much have the same story----good luck.
