Definitely only obese as an adult, and mostly obese and maybe overweight as a young child. I don't remember not being fat. I am dealing with some skin issues now, I have a lot of extra skin on my thighs and my stomach...and zillions of stretch marks. Two pregnancies is part of that, although I've always had stretch marks. Anyways I am keeping surgery in the back of my mind if it becomes necessary, as in it is really bothering me and things don't tighten up at all after a year or two at goal weight. All I know is I am starting to look good clothed, and I feel awesome, so it's all worth it!!

I stayed around 140-150 tops until i turned 31...My clothes size was always a 4-6....at 31 I started having those girl issues and really packed on the lbs...221 lbs was my top weight after my surgery, I thought I would lose it all again like magic...But its not going anywhere..I am at 215 now and 71 lbs needs to be removed...Feeling hopeless in west TN.
