For years I was the uber skinny chick.  In fact, looking back, I was too thin.  I didn't think that was possible back then... but at 5'3" and around 95 lbs... it was.
in 2007 I quit smoking and packed on the pounds pretty quickly.  In 2009 my chronic illnesses worsened and I had to quit working followed by depression and horrible eating. 
I am currently about 35 lbs lower than my top weight with about 40-50 to go to reach my goal weight.
I am on this journey of transformation with my little sister and I know that with us encouraging and supporting each other, one day at a time, we are going to be successful.
