Happy Healthy Me

Hello everyone! My name is Tamatha. I live in sunny Florida(where it’s hot). I’m 5′1 and over weight.

Growing up I was always a smaller waisted girl with big hips and big butt that is until my senior year in high school I started on the Depo birth control shot and slowly began to balloon.

My highest weight ever is 262 (size 22) which is what I weighed when I left my 1st husband. I began to walk every day 1 mile and do a 30 minute Paula Abdul exercise video until I had lost 70lbs (size 14)

I fell in love and got comfortable and slowly made my way to 236 and then the time to get married came and I went on Body For Life and lost 20lbs finishing up with Slim fast and lots of walking and that took me to 174 which I didn’t stay there long.

I found myself over the past few years between 205-215 never going higher and never going lower.

On May 6, 2007 I started out at 215lbs on the South Beach Diet, I was doing pretty well at first averaging 5 lbs a month loss until September/October showed up and I had back to back deaths in my family. My hard work went a little haywire, I went from eating every 2-3 hours to not eating at all or if I did eat it was the wrong stuff to be eating. I also gave up on my 2 a day workouts which all this combined has landed  8 of 21lbs lost back on to my body and that is what brought me to sign up here on 3FatChicks.

I have been reading this site since May while I keep a notebook style journal. I am here in hopes that with the world to see my everyday progress I will not have anymore slip ups.

So heres to wishing me much success!!!!
