In The Beginning

Back in January, I realized I am going to be 35 this year. WHOA! I was 325 lbs and nowhere close to being healthy. I could hear my biological clock ticking...Really...Really loud! I want to be a mom

before it is too late!

It still took a little while, though, because I was seriously in denial. In February, I decided to take action. I got off my butt and started my journey. I was determined not to give up this time no matter what!

At first I decided I would lower my calories, exercise, and not deprive myself of little treats. I started to eat A LOT of veggies with my meals. I tried to exercise three to four times a week for about half an hour to an hour a day. It worked...for a while. By the end of April, I was down 25 lbs, which is smaller than I had been in six years. I was cooking and eating very very healthy, but...I stopped losing and gained some weight back. So I cut my calories more and still gained some. I was frustrated!!! Even though I said I wasn't going to, I was about to give up! Again!

My Sob Story

Let's start with the sob story and get it over with and out of the way so that the future can be focused on! 

I have been overweight my entire life. Seriously...my entire life. My mom always tells me that she had to change my eating habits because I was overweight before I was even a year old. It took struggling with my weight, the loss of a baby half way through my pregnancy, the removal of my thyroid nodes, one very good Endocrinologist, and my mom recommending I look into the Metabolism Miracle by Diane Kress, to find out what was wrong with me.
