    Biggest Hurdle to overcome in weightloss: FOOD!

    Following any specific plan: Old fashioned way: Eating right, portion control, excercising, occasional treat

    What is different this time in your weight loss efforts than in the past: I have so much motivation this time.

    Anything else you would like to share with us: I lost my father to colon cancer in march of 2002, so I know that I have to take care of myself. Also, my pregnancy was a surprise, and I was so scared and nervous about my weight and getting embarrassed at the Docs office or hospital, I couldn't really enjoy my pregnancy. I would like to have a baby girl in a couple of years, but I will NOT be 350 lbs at my next pregnancy. I am just glad I have finally decided to do this. I hope I meet a lot of people here to help and encourage each other!
