My name is Michelle. I am a 24 year old mother of one....married to a wonderful and supportive man. I started gaining weight after high school. I probably gained approximately 50lbs during a 4 year period and ended up weighing 197lbs being my heaviest. I decided to do something about it. I didnt want to be "fat" anymore. During most of my life I was a thin individual and then I stopped taking Physical Education classes....lol Then I was introduced to fast food because I was always in a hurry or busy. No exercise and fast food could definitely make a person put on some weight. I had lost 10lbs....and then I found out I was pregnant....I was overjoyed....but a little out of ease knowing I HAD to gain weight. I was diagnosed with preclamsia and well....things didnt go so well. With being 187lbs plus the weight I gained through pregnancy....my heaviest total was 236lbs. After having my baby...within a matter of a week I had lost 36lbs. I was happy but I knew I had to lose the rest of the weight. So from 2005-2007 I had lost 33lbs. Now I want to lose the rest of the 39lbs Ive been meaning to lose. A lot of hard work goes into this....but I know Ill achieve my goals.
