I dont know exactly where My story begins. I was overweight as a child and it continued until adulthood. I definetly have a history of losing large sums of weight but eventually putting it back on. I had my first child (Nicole) when I was 22 yrs old. Before that preganancy I probably was around 195 or so. After that preganancy I had ballooned up to almost 265. A few years later when I moved from Charlotte to Greensboro, I lost weight and go my weight back down to around 200. But eventually the weight came right back and I spent the next 4 years around 260-270lbs. It was not until I moved back to Charlotte that I begin to lose weght again by exercising vigrously and watching what I ate. I was going to school full-time and working only part-time and had extra time to exericise. I year later that extra time stop. I no-longer attended Johnson C. Smith full-time. I was working full-time at one of Carolinas Health Care System's Physician's offices and taking care of Nicole and now the motivation for exercising and eating healthy was gone. Slowly but surely the weight was coming back. I met a new love interest and the weight start to go away again. Our relationship grew stronger and a year and a half later I was pregnant with Makayla my youngest daughter. I was 32 yrs old and my oldest daughter was 10 yrs old  I starting working for walmart part-time while continue to work at the Doctors office. Makayla was born in 9/2004. and the weight was there and it did not want to go any where. Several months later.I went to a different doctors office outside of CHS. It was a fresh begining and a year later I lost weight again. I have gotten down to 200lbs from around 265lbs. It was nice, but after several months the weight was back again. Makayla is now 31/2 and I am weighting 270lbs. Probably around my heaviest weight ever. I made the decision that I was tired of being out of breath .Makayla wanted me to chase her around. I wanted to be a role model for Nicole who is now 14 1/2 yrs old to live a healthier lifestyle. I want to be around many years to come with out having to easily subcomb to my family history of arthitis, diabetis, cancer, and heart disease. I'm tired of hopping around because my ankles are in pain from the weight and arthittis. I am doing this for me first and then for my girls and I know with God all things are Possible !
