was a skinny normal sized child until about fourth grade. started to gain weight and kept gaining through high school until I was in a 22/24.I am not sure my exact weight but I know it had to be way over 220 as I am 5'6. Had lost my senior year of school and got down to a 20/18. then a 18w then a regular 18. I stayed at that for a long time. After getting married I gained some weight until I hit 216 I then lost to 187 and now am back up to 196. I had torn cartlidge in my knee removed and a arthroscopy in November 2013. I also have fibromyalgia. This makes my energy and ability to exercise difficult. I would like to get to 150.
