BUSY! I am back to work after being a stay at home Mom for the last 5 years. I am not losing like I should but I know that it is my own fault. I am on a darn cereal kick. Well I did weigh today and I am down to 201.4 God I just want to see that darn 1 in front of the other numbers! I am going to try to stay away from the cereal and do it this week!

Regular girl?

I found a shirt and it was a large. I knew that wouldn't fit so I found the XL size and tried it on. Guess what? It fit!!! I wasn't shopping in the Plus Sizes. It has been a long long time since I could shop in the regular girl clothes. I can't believe it!! i'm so happy!! Just for the record the XL size said it is size 16/18. I will take it.

My Story

I am a 39 year old wife and Mother of three. Alexandria 16, Abby 8 and Jake 4. I have always been a little over weight my whole life but with each pregnancy came an extra 30 lbs, 40 lbs, 50 lbs!. I have tried many diets including Weight Watchers, Atkins and Lite Lifestyle. I have tried over the counter diet pills and prescription diet pills. I am sure there are many others too. Sure I lost weight on most of them, only to gain it back plus a couple extra lbs. I am tired of being fat, sick of people looking through me like I'm not there. Hoping for the best with the Lap-Band.
