Topic: Any book suggestions?
Hey all :) I haven't been on this website in suchhh a long time...over a year...but I decided to try and get back to it because I haven't lost any weight at all.
I'm 20 years old and I weigh 346lbs. I have a lot of trouble with eating fast food and not knowing how and when to eat correctly...I've never had normal eating habits.
Basically I just want to know if anyone has read any books that really helped them with losing weight and changing their lives. I really appreciate it!

TT this month - UGH!!!!
Short term goal was to hit 95lbs lost before surgery - at 94 right now so hoping I will meet and EXCEED my goal :)
I'm taking off 4 weeks from work for recovery and I'm looking forward to being home with my kiddos (pain or not I always want to spend more time with them - pesky work interfers).
I have a brand new gazebo in my backyard so I'm looking forward to kicking back and enjoying being outdoors, watch the fish in the pond, smell the roses you name it LOL.
I'm also planting a huge garden this year - I can hardly wait until the fresh veggies are ready.
I think my summer will be pretty full

Goal was to lose 95 lbs before my TT on the 21st of this month - to date I'm at 94 so I'm pretty sure I'm going to make it - or exceed it 
Topic: JUNE 2011 Check In's
Hi everyone! It's June already and I'm excited to get the summer activities started. We've had a heat wave hit NC the past week. I honestly wasn't ready for all that heat. 100 degree heat index- OUCH! Today is a bit cooler and I got out and walked this morning. Yay!
What plans do you have for June? Any new goals you are setting or working on? What summer foods or activities are you looking forward to?
I hope each of you are doing well and I can't wait to read your updates.

I think 216 is fab! At that weight I would be in the size 18 range! It's odd to think, but I almost can't imagine really getting there. I know I want to get there by the end of the year. My gaol is to get down to 200 before having another baby. I'm hoping to get as close as I can come next Janurary. I have to sit down and do the math to find out if I could really manage that goal. But for now HERE I COME 232! LOL!

That is great news! congrats! 232 was my lowest weight too! isn't that funny? it took me a long time to get there and eventually surpass it! my last recorded weight was 216, then I have gained some muscle form walking so much so I went up a little but my clothes size is getting smaller so I am not worried about it, i kow eventually I will start to lose again on the scale, for now, i am not weighing! congrats on your bathing suit victory as well!

Another NSV for today!
Today my little girl and I started mom and baby swim class. I waited until 1 hour before leaving the house to try on bathing suits in my bedroom. I had four to choose from. To my JOY the smallest, newest one fit! I had bought that for a Caribbean vaca in 2009. I was pregnant by the time the vacation came around and was pouring out of the suit! lol! Today, wow... it fit perfect.

Topic: Short Term goal reached!
Well, it's been a little over two years but I am finally back to the weight I was on the day I got preggers in 2009! I thought this the day would never come. Of course my body isn't the same shape now that it was before the pregnancy. I'm totally ok with that. I'm not the same physically, but that was my goal all along. I started this journey in 2007 to lose weight and be a healthy pregnant lady and that's what happened. It's such a small sacrifice when I step back and look at the big picture. I'm at 243 today and will keep working on getting to my next mini goal. Next goal is 232. That weight was my absolute lowest in 2008. I'm going to get there and beyond!
