I've struggled with my weight for years, since I hot on the depo shot right before my wedding. Within a year of starting depo I gained at least 80 pounds. I the pictures of my face, the one on the right is in January of 2012. That's when I was my heaviest. I yo-yo'd for years trying all the fad diets I could think of to try. This year, in June, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia and my doctor recommended I start with a change in diet. I started the autoimmune protocol (which is basically a very strict version of paleo). Since starting AIP, I've lost over 31 pounds (you can see the difference in the side-view picture). I'm so proud of myself for how far I've come! I can't wait to continue my health journey!

Also, at my heaviest I was at least 250 pounds (I didn't weigh myself much - I didn't want to know). Last time I weighed myself (about a week and a half ago) I was 208. My goal weight is between 120 and 150, depending on what ends up being the healthiest once I get there.
