I never had weight problems until I tore my ACL my senior year of high school. Before that I was running cross-country and playing volleyball, so I never worried about what I was eating. That changed as I gained about 35 lbs over the course of the next few years. When I got engaged, I was determined to be thin for my wedding. I did Atkins and lost all the weight in time for my wedding. Two kids later and the weight came back, doubly! So here I am now doing nutrisystem hoping to get back down to my ideal weight.
