Ht. 5'8", Start: 230 lb, Today: 218 lb (BMI %tile: 98), Goal: 145 lb - I'm Tammy and i have been overweight ever sence the 3rd grade. I haven't ever really been mad fun of but deep down inside i know what they are thinking about me. Sometime in April i decided to stop eatting so poorly and start eatting healthy. What changed my mind was i was with a group of friends and we were all trying on clothes and they all found stuff to wear but me. Because none of the clothes fit me. Just feeling the embarrassment was enough to get me motivated to losing weight. After i started losing weight for a few months, Then things started going down hill. My family and i moved to a different state. And here i am now trying so hard to get back on my diet. And so far it's been paying off. I just want anyone who reads this to let you know never give up. Even if things seem so impossible just keep going.
