I've been extremely unhealthy the passed few years of my life. My grandmother passed away in January 2014, started college in August of that year, and in September of 2015 I was diagnosed with PCOS. I gained about 70 lbs in just a year in a half. I've tried losing weight the fast way by starving, going on water fasts, taking supplements to make me use the bathroom as often as I can. But regardless of the number on the scale decreasing, I still wasn't happy. 

Mid-summer of this year, I've decided to just make a change. I was tired of feeling ugly on the outside, but also on the inside. I needed to make myself feel better. I wanted to be able to visit family without being judged. Or feeling uncomfortable with my friends because I can't borrow their clothes. I have now been lifting weights twice a week with my trainer, ride my bike almost every other day of the week, and eating a very balanced diet. And I'm proud to say that I've lost 16 lbs in six weeks. No this isn't a lot, I plan to lose 110 in total. But it's a starting point and I'm on such of a huge roll, nothing in the world can stop me.
