Hello,
My name is Jamie, I'm a 21 year old female from Michigan. I am newly married -as of 8-8-8-, and I'm 2 semesters away from my bachelor's degree. My husband and I take care of my 13 year old brother, and we are in the process of moving this month, becuase my husband is going to work for a different company (he's an airplane mechanic).
On to my weight introduction:
I started the Atkins diet at the age of 16 tipping the scales at 250 pounds. After years of Atkins, binges, switching between low carb and low cal -- I seen my lowest weight ever: 158 pounds. It still wasn't thin enough, of course, so I kept at it.
In the summer of 2007 my mom died, turning my whole world upside down. I lost my best friend, gained my brother, my relationship with my dad became very strained, and that leads me to where I'm at today.
I have put on a lot of weight over the past year. I have been dieting while doing so, but the binges and the 'cheat' days have become every other day. When I weighed myself yesterday the scale read 201 pounds. I have not seen the 200 pound mark since I was about 17 years old.
That is why I'm here. It is time for me to get serious again. I don't want to be 200 pounds, 190 pounds, or even 170 pounds. I want to get back to the 160's -- a place where I felt good inside and outside.
I am here for support, to stay on track.
