Hello :)

beyond_beauty87

My name is Nicole.
I'm deciding to lose the weight because i'm the heaviest i ever been. I told myself i will never let myself get to 300lbs, and with my last pregnancy i came out just shy of 300lbs weighing 295. My last pregnancy was unplanned but a wonderful surprise. I had lost 21lbs before finding out i was pregnant and with the the pregnancy gained it all back. I have 3 kids and with each pregnancy i had not been able to lose the weight so since my first child i have gained 100lbs. I have no health issues related to my weight thank goodness but my self esteem and how i feel about myself is affecting all aspects of my life. I no longer believe my husband when he tells me i'm beautiful, because in my mind how can a 300lb woman be beautiful. I have gotten over the thinking (avoid the gym-- not for me, its only for skinny ppl--) I in fact love going to the gym, it has a womens only section, an although i'm the heaviest out of the ladies in the room i know i'm going for me and thats what counts. I want to be healthy for my kids, my husband for me, and my health--just because i dont have issues now doesnt mean its not a possibility.

I would love to join you and support you on your journey to lose weight. I know we all have ups and downs and i know how important it is to have a support team. Please feel free to add me to your friends list and we can support each other.

Good luck all, we can do it one step at a time !!
