When I was born my mother had to give me special formula to help me gain weight.. well as I got older, I didn't have that problem anymore... not at all. When I was 12 I was in 7th grade I hit the 190 mark and by the end of freshman year I was 209. We had moved the summer before my 8th grade year and I was fortunate that moved right down the street from a lady with a home gym and a background in personal training. Of course, it took me 2 years to utilize this.
I used to be somewhat shy and have definitely had very low self esteem. So, when freshman year was coming to a close, I decided to see if the neighbor would trade me babysitting for workouts. She agreed. In 2 months I lost 30lbs. I was on a very strict low sodium diet and worked out 5 days a week. Toward the end of the summer I stopped working out with her. I weighed 170 lbs but quickly gained back 10. That year guys started to notice me and I began dating.. which became rather emotional for me and I just completely let myself go and didn't seriously try to do anything about it for almost 4 years.
Now, I am 19.. as of yesterday. At the beginning of March I grew tired of going nowhere or doing nothing. I stepped on the scale it was the heaviest I have ever seen myself 249 POUNDS!!! I was horrified. So, I made that my motivation to get this weight off. In my first month I lost 19 lbs. Started April off pretty good going from 230 at the end of March to 228 in the very beginning of April (April 3rd) Fyi.. I only weighed sat because I got a new scale and was trying to figure out how it works.. My real weigh in is every Monday.. But anyways.. That's my life in a nutshell.. sorry for the novel. lol
Felt like an intro would be cool :)
It is going to be worth it, every little bit. Good luck, you're off to an amazing start.
