History

Weight has never been an easy thing for me. I had a really hard time in high school with not eating as much food as I should have been to maintain being skinny. I played sports and stayed pretty fit. At the time I met my husband I was 5'3" 160 pounds and wearing a size 6. I will never be that tiny size 0 girl and I am okay with that.

Jeff and I got married and continued college in the meantime. Completely unhealthy eating habits began as we were not home together until after 10:30pm and we would eat something then. Completely broke we ate cheap dinners: mac and cheese, top roman, potatoes and a roasted chicken, nachos. The weight slowly crept on to the point where I hardly noticed. By the time I became pregnant with my oldest daughter (1 year after marriage) I was up to 190 pounds and a size 14.



After having Charlotte I did not really do anything to lose weight, I figured we were not done having kids so why torture myself to just get huge again. Wrong attitude. In August of 2009 I became pregnant with our twins at a weight of 206 pounds, which I never want to be at again. My peak weight with the twins was 247 pounds (day of delivery).



Since having the babies I have really been trying to get healthy and fit. I have managed to lose over 20 pounds from when I became pregnant with the twins and now come in at 183 pounds. Back down in a size 14 but I still feel uncomfortable in my own skin. My first goal is to get back down to 175 (wedding weight) and my ultimate goal is to get back down to a size 7.
