in Success Stories
At my highest I was 244 pounds. I can't even blame it on pregnancy because I was so overweight before I had kids. But after my second baby I managed to lose almost 100 pounds. BUT just gained it all back when I got pregnant with my third baby. Then I struggled hard to lose the weight. Finally I found what worked for me and reached 100 pound weight loss. Then, I got too relaxed over the holidays and gained about ten back. And now I am finally back down to my 100 pound weight loss. I have almost 20 more I would love to lose, but right now I am celebrating my achievements so far.

    How wonderful for you. I have battled the weight loss war my entire life losing many times only to regain it quickly. This time it is coming off slowly, due in part that I was so de-conditioned excercise was not possible. With a goal of =115 to reduce to 130 it has taken nearly a year to get to near 200. Finally I am able to move without pain, so perhaps at last I can increase my burn. I'm not going to rush it this time; though I'd love to be at 50 pounds down at 1 year. Instead I am going to use this time to truly understand what my body requires, and learn to eat to accomplish that. You look great, keep up your wonderful effort. The only sage advice I can offer is to work very hard on learning maintenance to avoid the pitfalls I have experienced many times. Good luck to you in successfully keeping it off.
