Description
I've been overweight for a good majority of my life - since I was in the 4th or 5th grade, to about freshman year in high school.
At my lowest, I was 145 lbs my freshman year.
Then I got involved with a boyfriend, which led me to gain "comfort weight."
I stayed around 160 for a year, then after my 2nd relationship, I was around 180 lbs.
Then in 2009, I had a surgerical procedure that left me bed-ridden and barely able to walk for weeks (almost a whole Summer).
I didn't weight myself, but I knew I gained weight.
Then I moved to GA for school - and there is nothing to do here except go to school, so I gained weight just by sitting around.
Then I had to have emergency surgery for my appendix in 2010 - it had ruptured and infected.
My doctors told me to lose weight, but I couldn't help but resent them for it. After a few weeks of being bed-ridden and not eating, I was down to 200 (from 215) - but this was mostly from vomiting what ever I tried to eat.
When I got better, my metabolism was practically shut down from not having anything substantial in it for so long - I gained the 15 back along with another 15.

Fat forward to November 2011. My best friend, who we knew has diabetes, had to have his foot amputated due to getting ganggreen in it.
My mother started losing her eyesight due to her diabetes.
I got my wake-up call.

I started exercising and eating right - and lately I've been doing the Insanity work out.
This is my progress from the last 6 months, and here's to hoping for much more success in the following months.
