I'm 22 years old from the Pittsburgh, PA area. I'm engaged to the best man a girl can ask for and I am blessed with a wonderful family. I've struggled with my weight since I can remember. Since about age 12 I've fluctuated between a size 11-13 jeans - some days I'd have to squeeze into the 13 but I'd get them on. My senior year of highschool(2005) I was slowing dropping weight (I didn't realize at the time). I didn't change my eating or exercising habits. By summer 2006 I was wearing a size 9 (and somedays that size 9 was loose!) I was finally comfortable wearing shorts, skirts and bathing suits - things I would usually avoid. Summer ended and the weather cooled off and I went back to living in sweatpants. By November of that same year I went to put on a pair of those size 9 jeans - what a struggle! It seemed like over night I gained about 60 pounds!! I havent changed any of my habits since summer! I have what is called Polycystic Ovary Syndrome which may contribute to weight gain. But I'm not going to let it rule my life or be an excuse. I never thought I would be looking back on pictures of myself wishing I was that size again. It is my goal to lose weight, stay in shape and stay healthy so I can once again be comfortable in my own body.
