Funny story of how I just stumbled into this forum. I googled why are plus size shirts made so short? And the forum came up with a thread about shopping. Anyway, this was perfect timing because after losing my best friend and father of my children who was also my biggest stresser and an addicts. I am free of the largest weight on my shoulders, my biggest excuse to self destruct.
I am also a mother of twins and they are a big help keeping me on my feet. I have been trying to change my routines and patterns and eating habits for a few years and now have complete control over my choices. As there were times I had no choice but to eat what I was given.
I also did lose a lot of weight when I was about 20, not in the most healthy of ways and ended up gaining it back during and after my pregnancy...started around 170 and ended currently around 320. I always heard about the lose and gain but I thought being an overweight kid that I would lose it one day and never gain it back. Now I do plan to do that and hopefully some of this extra skin goes back but to be healthy I will be happy.

Hi there! I stumbled upon this site today too and am also in PA! Your story is a lot like mine minus the self destruction excuse, I gained all my weight after my pregnancy and thought I was going good in my second pregnancy but what I lost, came right back in the past 6 months. I have trouble finding motivation and drive to eat right and workout. My plate is super full with 2 young kids, full-time job and full-time college student. If you need any support, I'm here!
