"Cant believe I got this big" ...... ready to bur it all off !!
Hey everyone!
My name is faye and im 24 years old and live in north carolina. I have always been a bit 'chubby' but never more than 10 or 20 lbs overweight ..... that is until 2006.
So a bit of back story. In late 2005 I met my now hubby online, he came to visit me, and I visited him a few times too. Then in december 2006 I got a US student VISA so I could get a degree and see if WE would work... Well we did. IN 2009 I graduated and in 2010 we were married. When I first came to America in 2006 I weighed about 150lbs, having gained a little when I lived in london, I was a junior exec so was obligated to always be going on dinners and champagne luncheons etc with the company, and then was often too tired to exercise lol.
So anyway When It came time to move to america I was 150lbs ... fast forward to 2011 and At my biggest weight I was 286lbs. SO have gained about 130lbs in the last 5 years of living here. I know why.... I went to college online, I wasnt allowed to work, and couldnt drive, I was a house wife. And alas boredom turned to snacking, lots of baking an lack of exercise.
I recently received my Green card so now im here for good, I just got employed at target, and Hubby and I have been hitting the gym for the past 2 weeks so finally life is starting to get going in a direction im happy with.
My mini goal is to hit 250, then get under the 200's, and my final goal weight is 140lbs. I like having curves, as does hubby so I dont want to get down to 120ish, but I think at 140 I can be healthy, active and live the life I need to live. No health problems thankfully, no diabetes, asthma etc .... Im just plain old lazy and in pain !! So hopefully when I lose the first 10 or 20 it will get less painful on my ankles, and I can get back to running, and swimming.
