Weight Loss: The beginning

Fall of 2010, my husband came home from a year long deployment. We went out to eat every chance we got, because he hadn't had "good food", aka Taco Bell haha, only chow hall food or MRE's while deployed. In less than three months I had gained over 20 pounds and reached my top weight of 222.2 lbs. I was devastated, I could not believe that I had let my weight get out of hand. At work, we were doing a competition spin off of Biggest Loser and so I joined that and lost about 10 lbs in 3 or 4 months by walking around the office with a friend on every break. Also I wasn't really eating right, I skipped breakfast, had Ramen Noodles for lunch, went out to eat or shared a box of Hamburger Helper with my husband (half each). My husband has the metabolism of a God, he didn't gain any weight during any of this time. In about May, 2011, I made it into "one-derland" and by mid May I found out I was pregnant and was instructed to eat better, as in actual meals and gained the last 7-10 pounds back by the time (end of June) I miscarried. I have been stuck at that weight ever since. I decided enough was enough and while my husband is in training, I joined Jenny Craig. I joined on March 13th (day after my birthday, happy birthday to me!!) and started eating Jenny food on the 14th. My starting weight on the 13th was 206.8. After my first week with Jenny, I lost 1.7 lbs, bringing me to 205.1 on March 20th. My second week, I lost another 1.9 lbs, bringing me to 203.2 on March 27th! Wish me luck for my weigh in on Tuesday! I hope you find motivation in my story. Also know that I am being completely honest and need everyone and anyone to hold me accountable for my slip ups as well as accomplishments along the way!!
