I've always been heavy. The lightest I ever remember being was 160 pounds in the 6th grade and the school nurse told me I should be ashamed of myself. I met my husband at age 14. He was the first and only guy that would just stare at me...and I found out later he literally stalked me for a while. We started dating when I was 17. When I left for college I gained quite a bit more than the freshman 15 and weighed in at 230. In 2011 he joined the Marine Corps and we got married then moved from the small town to the city on the other side of the country. I became isolated and depressed. Food was my company and I tipped the scales at 260.
After months of trying to get pregnant and having painful periods, I was diagnosed with PCOS. The doctor told me I probably wouldn't be able to have kids and my best bet at relief was weight loss. A fellow military wife reached out to me and convinced me to give Herbalife a shot. Ten pounds and six weeks later I was staring at a positive pregnancy test and on the phone canceling a fertility treatment appointment we had made as a last resort. After having my son I weighed in at 287. In the first 6 months I lost 60 pounds. One year later I have lost a total of 73.2 pounds. The past couple months have been completely awful mentally. I have lost all motivation and I feel so lost about my weight loss. I still have 65ish pounds to go. My husband is leaving soon for a while and I'm really hoping dietbet is just the thing to help make the homecoming that much sweeter.
