I have been battling with losing this weight for a year now. I am 200 pounds, and 5'3. I feel completely dumpy, and never feel good about myself. I have never been this big in my life, ever since i lost my first baby, I started gaining weight. I got pregnant again, and the whole nine months, I craved soda, i drank 2 liters a day. My last trimester i was 225 pounds. As soon as I had my daughter I was down to 175, but it shot right back up withhin a month to 200 due to the soda habit. I carry most of my weight in my hips, thighs, and butt. A month ago I quit drinking regular soda, and switched over to diet. Tomorrow, I am giving up caffine, and only drinking water. I want to do this right this time. I'm sick of being down on myself. I want to feel pretty again. Any advice would be wonderul.
