  • Hey Everyone!

    My name is Kelli and I am a 21 year old stay at home mom. I just joined the site and I would like to introduce myself. I am married to a Marine and have a 10 month old daughter, Amaya. We live in North Carolina. I have always been bigger, but my weight has also constantly fluctuated. I was a skinny kid until about 7 years old, then I was chubby. I'm not sure if I was fat or chubby, but anyhow big enough to not fit in with the skinny kids. In 10th grade I switched schools and I remember weighing 222 lbs. I was miserable then. The summer after tenth grade I got a car and liked boys and took diet pills, I believe it was Phen fen before it became illegal. Anyhow I went from a size 20 to a 13/14. I wasn't thrilled about my size, but I had plenty of boyfriends so I wasn't doing anything to change it either. My first year in college I got pregnant. During my pregnancy I went from about 190 lbs to 251 at my last prenatal appt. I then had my daughter on Valentine's Day of this year. At my six week checkup I think I weighed around 230 something and today I am only a few pounds less than that. I think I wiegh 227. I just started Atkin's today and I think my goal weight is 150. When I get to 150 I might set a new goal. I am a member of a gym, so hopefully working out a few days a week, eating the Atkin's way, and drinking plenty of water will get this weight off of me.

    BTW-I never remember weighing 150 in my life!

            Welcome Kelli. Good to see others here that are involved in the military. I'm in the Army myself.

            Yes, you've found an excellent resource here, and source of support and help. This is about the friendliest group of people I've met. Best of luck, and don't give up!
