Hey Guys-
So about 6 years ago, I was at my heaviest. 321. I had PCOS & insulin resistance. My hormones were all out of whack. I was a mess.
I met a great endo and she helped me lose 100lbs! I took a little over a year.
I kept it off for a few years after college - but then I started grad school. And since entering grad school - I have put on a LOT of weight. I mean a LOT. Going into my final year of grad school and full time internship last September, I was at 290lbs. I've been feeling really bad - I know I've gained weight. I'm getting married in about a year, and I really wanted to drop down to at least 220 (where I felt GREAT and looked awesome).
So for the last week I've been low-carbing it. I never got on the scale, so I figured I'd get on now so I could have a starting point. HOLY CRAPOLA. I weigh 348lbs, the most I have ever weighed in my entire life.
I've been putting off the exercising - but I really can't any longer. If it wasn't dark out- I'd go right now. I can't believe I let it get this bad.
I weigh 100lbs more than my fiance -I used to weigh less than him!! Ugh I've gotta get back on track. I know this includes going back to the doctor - I haven't had health insurance and I've been off of Metformin for a year. I'm sure that didn't help.
Anyway - I guess that's my intro. I'm here and I'm ready for a change. I know my username is shedding4thewedding - and while that's true - I just really need to lose weight for myself and get my life back.
Wish me luck!
