I have joined a gym, beware the world is coming to an end. Anywho, Garrick work had a corporate deal, to now I strive for a real attempt at getting down to my high school weight. Since Jodes posted an inspiration picture, perhaps if I can find one, I will do the same.
Breif history for anyone but Megs. I was a chubby kid and early teen. At 14 I was diagnosed with ADD, big shock for anyone who knew me, HA. Doc put me on Dexedrine, AKA dextroamphetamine, notice the amphetamine part. Behold the glorious side effect, huge weight loss. I mean huge as in I dropped 60 pounds in 3 months. It happened so quick I got pale and even had teachers worrying. But it leveled off and I was somewhere around a size 8. For the next 4 years I stayed that size, despite almost never taking my meds. Enter my ex, or as dad called him the Lizard, and the first of 2 ankle surgeries. I slowly but surely gained weight. January before the wedding, Garrick and I went on Atkins, and I dropped 30-40 pounds, wich I gained right back after the wedding. So here I am refusing to go back on Atkins, and without medical insurance to cover my dex, and attempting to lose weight.
