Enough is Enough

I have never been a petite girl or woman. However, there have been times in my life when I was in shape and looked GOOD! I played volleyball in high school and was very active in general. In college from 1995-1999, I gained about 30lbs, and in 2003 was able to lose the weight; dropping from 203# to 150# (I'm 5'8") in a matter of 5 months through low carb dieting alone (I didn't exercise at that point in my life). I started exercising pretty heavily in 2007, and continued until about 2011. I found myself gaining weight though in 2008 after I quit smoking. I was in college (AGAIN!) getting my Master's Degree and I could not stop STRESS EATING! So here I am, had to go shopping for an outfit for a job interview tomorrow; because none of my old clothes fit because I've gained so much weight : (.

I am at my heaviest ever in my life the scale screamed at me (get off of me!) and showed a weight of 204#. I've had enough and it is time to get back to work, anything worth having is worth putting the effort into. I plan to start my healthy eating and activity level lifestyle tomorrow.

I look forward to the support that this website has to offer, and I wish all of you the best of luck. We can do it, we just have to put our faith in ourselves and get moving.
