Formerly Starchild72766, my name is Kelly Stuard-Will. My weight loss journey really began in 2000, where I lost around 50 lbs, then gained 23 back when I went on insulin in 2006. For 8 years, my weight would not budge due to being on insulin, which causes weight gain and stores every calorie. Then, in May 2014, I finally talked my doc into reducing my intake to just a couple units per meal with metformin twice a day. As a result, I have lost 30 lbs within the past 3 months.
I am currently a Public Health graduate student at Liberty University, having earned a BA in Health Ed and an Associates in Biotechnological Engineering. I live with my hubby of 26 years and two loveable doggies named Moya and Hattie in Salisbury, NC. I have many interests including writing, music/art, crafts, history, World Culture, religion, politics/social sciences, archeology/anthropology, classic drama, and science fiction/fantasy. My husband and I are long time members of our local Y and work out 6 days a week in a variety of activities there.
