Not many people make it a goal to lose 100 lbs. At least, with the people I know.
And here's where I get really candid. My heaviest was 244. That number was 44 lbs more than what I weighed 4 years ago. I have yo-yo'ed with my weight since before middle school. I've had a hard time being one of the biggest girls in my classes. I fell like I never really fit in. I had a tough relationship with my mother, so I ate to cover up my feelings. I didn't recognize emotional eating until my senior year of high school.
I went to college, and gained, of course, the freshman 15. And then some the sophomore year. Junior year, I had everything all together. I ate salads every day, and I worked out in the gym almost every day. I often went in there the same time the basketball/softball/volleyball players worked out. So I had to challenge myself. I was doing really well, then I got the flu. That darn flu changed my life. More on that later... But after the flu, I was in Onederland. Anyone struggling with weight knows that Onederland is in the 100s. The lightest I've weighed since before I can remember was 198.
Then my schedule got crazy. I moved back home, went to a different school, and ate out. A lot. Before I knew it, I was up to my highest weight. That's when I decided to take some action. I started getting healthier foods. I asked for a gym membership for Christmas (more on that later). I started taking salads for lunches every day.
And now I'm here today 10 lbs lighter. That's not a huge accomplishment. But it's 10 lbs closer to my goal. Only 90 more. I'll try posting pictures once I can start seeing differences. But I'll have a new weight loss post every 10 lbs.
Here are my stats:
Height: 5'6"
SW: 244
CW: 233.8
STG1: 219
STG2: 194
