The Reason

I weighed 130 when i got preg , 195 when i had my 1st son,  never lost all the wt and was 165 when i got preg the 2nd time. With the help of WW, i was 199 when i had my 2nd son and after i rtn'd to WW, i got back down to 165 in the early 90's.  Since then my wt had grad increased with some decreases when i would get back to working on it.  After going to a Ranger play off game this Oct and enjoying Ball Park food my weight was 295 and i decided it was time for a new mindset......sort of that hitting bottom that finally gets into the head that if this continues, i prob won't, and i went back on a combination of NS and cal watching. By decreasing my portions and making smarter choices and the encouragement of my friends I grad worked down to about 1300-1400cal/day.  Then via Laryssa,  Allan came into my online world and his no bs and steady approach appealed to me and on 12/8 i joined his 1200 cal and large fluids group.  The result was no holiday gain and in fact i lost and additional 7 pounds over what i hoped to by today. So here is the weight part of this and the fact that it took me 23 years to get to here.
