Finally Gonna Win This Battle!!
 

Hello everyone! My name is Crystal and I'm 26 years old. I have struggled with being overweight my entire life. I began my weight loss/weight gain cycle, by way of yo-yo dieting, in junior high school in hopes of being healthy and thin. I have never been able to reach my weight loss goal. I had gastric bypass when I was 20, but was so young that I didn't follow the rules and I ruined that amazing chance at a healthy life.

SO, here I am, 26 years old, a mom and a wife, and I finally have the drive and determination to find my healthy me. I started out about 2 weeks ago at 252 pounds and weighed in this morning at 238 pounds. I am doing the low-carb, high-protein eating plan and have been surprised at how smoothly things have gone. I am excited to watch that dreaded number on the scale keep going down and learning to love myself (something I have never done). I have never been a healthy weight and I am starting to see just how amazing that feeling is going to be!!

I'm new to being a forum member, so bear with me. Thanks for reading; I'm looking forward to all the new friendships to come!

Crystal :)
