MandaPanda 173 Posted August 4, 2013 This has been interesting reading. So I will add mine. I have been on a diet since I can remember. Developed early and have been the same height since I was 12. I was between 150-175 in high school but my weight is distributed evenly and very curvy. Never made fun of for being fat. Got married at 18, baby at 20. I have never been under 200 since I had my son. In my 20s, I fluctuated but stayed around 220. I have yo-yo'd up and down since then. Now I am 33, and have been around 245 for the past two years. Gained weight while dieting and have had enough. I have not been able to participate fully in life and feel my weight is holding me back in a major way. I am so excited about the next year. I was sleeved 6 days ago and doing well. I have already lost 10 pounds! Which seemed impossible before!!!!! 2 Reigo and Kaj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tml74 24 Posted August 4, 2013 I was thin until I got pregnant and it's been downhill from there. Pissed me off that people could have babies and bounce back to be pre baby weight so fast. I tried to no avail. 2 Reigo and Kaj reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
HatheryOnHerWay 603 Posted August 4, 2013 I was a thin teen. Didn't start gaining weight til I moved out at 18 and moved in with my (now) hubby. He has a crazy metabolism and can eat whatever he wants without going above 165 pounds. I picked up most of his bad habits 1 Reigo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Reigo 111 Posted August 5, 2013 I was a thin teen. Didn't start gaining weight til I moved out at 18 and moved in with my (now) hubby. He has a crazy metabolism and can eat whatever he wants without going above 165 pounds. I picked up most of his bad habits Crazy how so many men can eat whatever they want (I know not all of them) and if they do gain a few pounds, they drop it so easy!
