My whole life I was small.  I am only 5 feet tall, and I was never more then 120 pounds.  Shortly after I moved in with my boyfriend I started gaining weight.  I was busy working 3 jobs and going to school, so exercise and healthy eating went right out the window.  I am now 168 pounds and miserable!  My boyfriend and I have been together over 5 years now, and an engagement is on the horizon.  I don't want my engagement memories to be clouded with my weight.  I also do not want to have to wait a few years to have the wedding because I am fat.  We want to have children, and I know it will be so much easier if I am lighter.  My goal is to get back down to around 120 pounds.  I would like to do this within the next year.  I have used the Slim-fast plan before (and it worked!), but I did not have enough money at the time to continue.  Now I have the money, and the determination, and I am ready to finally be myself again!
