I am a 36 year old mom of 3 beautiful babies. I have ALWAYS been fat and always had low self esteem. I had gastric bypass surgery in 2005 and went from 415 pounds down to 267 and then just stopped losing. I felt so good about myself and body for the first time ever. Now, it has gotten to the point where I have to work much harder to lose the weight and I realize that I have no idea how to really get it off and keep it off. I have gained back a little weight now and feel like I am as fat as I used to be even though I am not even close! I hate my body again and need to do something about this once and for all! I want my kids to learn to be healthy now so they don't have to struggle later!

Goals:
It seems that getting past the 15 lb loss mark is very difficult for my body to do. I lose fast up to that and then...nothing... So... when I get passed that mark I will buy a new pair of shoes! :) ACCOMPLISHED!!

25 lbs - don't know the reward but ACCOMPLISHED!


Under 250
New outfit INCLUDING shoes :)

NEW GOAL - 9/14/10 - I am currently wearing a size 20-22 top and 18 jeans. I am making the goal to be able to buy a size 16 (or smaller) dress for a Christmas party I go to each year. My plan - keep eating the way I am and start a new excercise routine. My reward- seeing people I haven't seen in a year and looking HOT!!! :)
