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.

    hello and welcome! you're doing something about it now, that's the first step. just take it one day/step at a time
  • 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.
