in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone! My name is Deanna, I live in NC with my wonderful husband and 2 amazing little boys. Paxton is 7 and Tyler, who will soon be 6. Since Tyler was born, I've had a really hard struggle with my weight. I hit a lifetime high of 239 lbs. and decided something had to change. I'm currently at 210 but I have a long way to go to reach my goal of 160. I joined the site a few days ago and it has given me some new inspiration. Thanks to all who make it possible and thanks to all the members for sharing your journey.

    I completely know what you are talking about! I was 160 lbs when I married my husband (2nd) and guess I got comfortable and seem to keep putting on the lbs a lil every year. Then I had an accident a year and 1/2 ago and had to have surgery on my foot. That made me not be able to do the exercise like I used to so I put on more weight but faster, because I didn't change my eating habits! I was told about this website about a month ago and it has been wonderful! I weighed 225 when I started a diet and it was basically a starvation diet, then went to this lifestyle 2 days later and now almost a month later I have lost 14 lbs all together. I weigh myself every Monday morning so I am hoping that I will have lost some more. I stick with this faithfully and log everything I eat!! Good luck on your journey! You can add me as a friend for encouragement!

    Don't look at it as a long way to go. I started at 200 and am over halfway to my goal. I never thought I would get to where I am at.

    Just keep logging - it really helps keep you in line. Good luck, you can add me as a friend if you want to.
