Hello all, I have always known, atleast for the last 10years that I have been over weight. I have 3 kids and with each pregnancy I gained 50+ lbs, losing only 1/2 the weight with each child. I have been going to the gym off and on for the last 2 months. Today was the first time Ive been on a scale in months (i actually had to go out and buy a new one.) I couldnt believe it I weighed in at 199!... I am still amazed. I have completely let my self go. I know I have very poor eating habbits, but I am always active. I feared 180s, but Im just a breath away from 200. SO I really have my work cut out for me.
Im a nurse, I KNOW how to lose weight, but to actually put the plan into action is another story.
Ive restocked the fridge and shelfs with healthy choices, Im all set to calorie count and Im already planning the week ahead, for meals and workouts.
Wish me luck.....

I wish for you determination and strength of spirit, no luck involved, hey at least you woke up before 400 like some sloth i know.

LOL, Thanks Resolute. Strength is def what I need. I feel driven- so thats a start. Just to take it one day at a time. And congrats on your incredible loss, and keep up the good work and determination

I wish you the best in this journey. No luck needed, it's all heart If you every have questions, doubts, concerns, a funny joke you heard on the way to Kroger, I'm hear with an ear as is everyone else around here.

P.S. I live in Westland, MI too

Determination! You can do it!

the same day we decided to start a new pace of life ..... I wish you all the luck and courage ...

This time, victory is ours .... we waited too long
