I’m fairly young, 27F but I have been 200lbs (give or take 20lbs depending on my stage of life) for forever, like I was a butter ball of a kid so my skin has been stretched for a while, I’ve had stretch marks since I can remember. I’m 5’6 and have been since I was maybe 16.
3 years ago at the age of 24 I got into the gym heavily & consistently, and got down to almost 160lbs and my skin wasn’t actually too loose, but then I got pregnant. After the birth I had probably 30lbs to lose in order to get back to 165, then I broke my pelvis and was couldn’t work out, THEN got pregnant again and now I have another 30lbs to lose.
When I initially got pregnant, I had maybe 15lbs to lose, then after the birth 30lbs to lose, and now another birth another 30lbs! I consider myself about 60-75lbs over what is healthy for my body, and while my main concern is my health and being able to be active w my husband and kids, I’m honestly thinking about what my body will look like when I am able to slim down.
Being 165lbs gave me extreme confidence, I felt good seeing myself in a mirror, I felt at peace shopping for clothes that fit, I was more motivated in the gym because I was seeing tangible results, and I didn’t have to change my diet too much. I was very happy with my work outs, weight loss, and diet and I just want to get back to that
ETA: I’m currently around 220 at 5’6
