Hi Everyone
 

Hi Everyone,

I have used this site as a resource before but never thought to register before now. I have struggled with my weight for most of my life but didn't really do anything about it until I hit 310 back in 2008. I started Atkins and lost 90lbs in about 8 months. Unfortunately I got comfortable and ballooned up to 250 in 6 months. In 2011 I had an accident at work that resulted in extensive knee surgery, at the time I was 326lbs. I swore I was going to lose weight and get fit during my healing process since I was going to PT regularly. Then I found out I was pregnant. I was able to not gain any weight while pregnant (which was preferable with my OB).

Now my little one is almost a year and ready to be weaned. I started last week at 320lbs. This time I will lose the weight, I will maintain my healthy lifestyle, and I will have a healthy relationship. I have to for the sake of my little girl.

I am hoping being on here will help me stay strong and change my attitude about food. Not to mention encourage others to make the changes they need to :)

Welcome and congratulations on taking charge of your health.

Welcome, perspicaciouskae - love your user name! Glad you joined - and Congratulations on your little one! I'm so impressed you were able to not gain during pregnancy!!! How did you do that?

Are you going to use Atkins again? (I won't ask about exercise; chasing after a year-old baby :dizzy: - just don't hurt that knee again!!)

Welcome and good luck on your journey!
