If it's any encouragement I used to weight close to 200 then lost it all when I was around 21 years old and have never gained it back even with the babies I had. I weigh in around 130 now.

So I did it and you can too girl!<BR/>I'll keep you in my prayers!<BR/>Robin~♥Robin Beckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16685571932261140657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241488111431903979.post-90063672816378423732008-08-22T14:37:00.000-07:002008-08-22T14:37:00.000-07:00Nikki, first of all...

This is, I'm sure you're going to inspire a lot of the people that visit your blog to hopefully do the same. I, like yourself I'm sure, tend to put everything and everyone else first. While doing this, we forget about ourselves. This journey you have started will make you feel so much better in the long run, and it will be a good model for your daughter.Debhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00705186147281239555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241488111431903979.post-31984633304353678772008-08-22T13:35:00.000-07:002008-08-22T13:35:00.000-07:00Good for you!

I'm trying my best to get healthy the right way... apparently the slowest way EVER. But my dr said that weight lost the correct way (even though it takes a while) stays off.. whereas crash diets and pills dont keep the weight off. So... you've got the right attitude.

You seem to have such a positive attitude about everything, and I'm sure blogging about your experiences will be good for you and help us who read your blog! I had a lot of success with weight watchers a few years ago but lately I have been off track and really need to lose some weight again. What worked the best for me was journalling (writing down everything I ate), it really makes you aware of all those little things that really add up.Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16115731330817793764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8241488111431903979.post-7570290156576226902008-08-20T15:56:00.000-07:002008-08-20T15:56:00.000-07:00Oh sweetie, you are so brave!
