My weight story

This is a picture of me and my friend Joelle 

This is at my heaviest point in my life I was 19 years old and I weight 247 LBS.

I wanted to share this picture because I've have always struggled with my weight since I was 11 years old.

At 11 I was able to wear my father's shorts......not cool.

After this picture I had lost 25 lbs and was able to keep it off.

When I turned 25 years old I was 222 lbs and was going to be my Aunt Maid of Honour and when we went dress shopping her mother in law was trying on the sample dresses because I could not fit in them. That my friend was my turning point I just wanted to able to fit in clothing at the (regular) store not the plus size store. So my goal was to loose weight so I could wear a size 16-15. I was going to the gym 6 days a week and watching my calorie intake I was determined! I lost 55 lbs! 

At 157-160lbs I was fitting into size 13 pants and I was wearing I belt WOW! That was a first for me. My family didn't recognized me when I was with them LOL.

I've gained 30 lbs. But my eating habits have changed dramatically and it didn't matter if I would clean out my diet or carbs and sugar for a month I would loose a little but I would totally binge eat after the fact which was no good. So this is why I've decided to give this a go with Ideal Protein. My goal is to get back to 160lbs.
