Hello everyone.......I came across this website yesterday and fell in love with it! It is so amaizing how there are other women in the world that feel the same as me.

I started a protein enhanced diet on 3/17/2011 and on 3/25/2011 I weighed myself and had lost 5 pounds, 230 to 225. I was super excited.

I have battled with my weight as far as I can remember......when I graduated from high school in 1998, I was 220 pounds. Then when I got pregnant I topped the scales at 280......ugh. In March of 2008 I received the lap band surgery. I was 260 at that point. I lost 40 pounds and got down to 220. But then I got lazy with my food choices and put on 15 pounds bringing me back up to 235. So now I am at 225, on a diet that has worked for me for almost 2 weeks, this thursday 3/31/11 will be my two week mark.......I can't wait to get on the scale to see if there was more weight loss this week.

I have a very supportive husband who loves me regardless of what size I am. But I always feel in the back of my mind that he is embarrassed to be seen with me. Even thought he is not, I always think that. I DON'T WANT THAT FEELING ANYMORE.

Thank you for listening!!!
