Journey to a New Me!!!

I have always struggled with my weight. Since I can remember, I was always the biggest person in my class and sometimes the entire school. Then matters got worse when I became pregnant with my children. My son is the one who did it for me.....60lbs in 9mon! I couldn't believe it. I tried to lose weight but nothing seemed to help.

My weight issue became secondary to me after a while because I had two kids to take care. I work, go to school, and still find some kind of time to have quality moments with my kids. It wasn't until this June that I hit the bottom.....I guess you can say top. My weight had soared so out of control that I was 450lbs! At 24, that news was devastating. Even more so since I have to lead by example and make sure my kids don't follow down the same path as me. I started moving more and working on portion sizes. I try not to eat out as much. I also drink more water and juice than anything. I'm hoping to phase juice out all together because of the sugar....

I came to myfitnesspal.com through a mobile app and I absolutely love it! It is my food journal...I'm so glad that I have the tools handy to become a healthier me. As of last week, I am officially under 400lbs! I am so excited and I can t wait to loose more.
