No Longer Lurking!
Hello All,
I have been a member here for several months, but this is my first posting. I have been every size from 5, when I left the Army, to where I am at now 22. Due to some medical issues brought on by MRC and medication I gained nearly 100 pounds in about 18 months.
I have tried many different gimmicks and even medication to help me lose the weight. But, I have not been nearly as diligent as I should have been and have always ended up back where I started. Or, in the current circumstance, heavier than I was when I started.
What has energized me to get serious and focused on my weight loss is the fact that at the first time in my life, I hurt. When I stand too long or walk too far my back and knees ache. I cannot live this way and I am determined to lose this weight. Also, another difference in me losing weight this time versus the other attempts is that I now understand that it took me over a year to gain this weight and it will take at least that long to SAFELY lose the weight.
I never want to be a size 3 again; I felt and looked my absolute best at 9-12. So, that’s my goal. My 20 year high school reunion is in November 2013, so I am not going to be the “person most changed” for the wrong reasons!
