My name is Nichole , I was always avaraged size untill I had my 8 year old , after I had her I just kept gaining weight and was up to 177 lbs , I had lost about 20 lbs and then I got pregnant again for my now 3 year old then of course I gained all I had lost back and when I had came home after having her I weighed 175 lbs , I went on the atkins diet for about 6 months and lost most of my weight that way and I started walking alot too, my lowest weight last spring was 133 I now weigh 138 Im so unhappy about gaing the weight back , the only thing I did was not walk , my eating habits stayed the same , so now that its spring I have been doing alot of walkng again , Im hoping to lose the weight by June . I cant wait to get to know everyone around here .

Hi Nichole. So glad you are here!

Since you plan to walk, I'd like to invite you to join our Coast to Coast Challenge! A group of us are walking from Hopedale MA to Seattle WA -- by adding up all our miles together! We've already gone over 1000 miles but would love to have some more feet to help us get the rest of the way. Just go to the sign up thread under Exercise section and then over to the challenge thread, if you are interested!
