Jeri L

I was the skinny girl in high school.  I could eat anything I wanted and not gain a pound.  I started putting on a little weight here and there after high school--in college, after getting married, and after having a baby.  I lost thirty pounds and did pretty good at staying weight-stable for several years.  In 2011, I was diagnosed with thyroid cancer.  I had a total thyroidectomy and a radioactive iodine treatment.  After the treatment, I was started on a new medication and subsequently put the thirty pounds back on in a year and a half.  My dosage was recently reduced and the weight gain stopped.

My 3 goals for this contest are: 
1.  Drop one pant size
2.  Drink more water, less Diet Coke
3.  Exercise 6 days a week
