I have always been "thick". I really loved my curves once I hit my early twenties. Then I got pregnant, and gained 60 pounds. Thick then became fat. And I no longer loved my newly expanded "curves".

I realized that I wouldn't be the kind of mom I wanted to be at 260+ pounds, let alone set a healthy example. As of January 2008, I decided it was time to do something. I started weightwatchers.

01.01.09:
267 lbs Size 22

01.01.10:
242 lbs Size 18

12.14.10
219 lbs Size 16

My working goal is 180, but I may adjust that down if I'm not happy at 180.

I'm grateful to have come as far as I have. I am finally in my same clothes before I got pregnant, and that is an accomplishment for the amount that I gained, but I am much flabbier now. It's time to implement more healthy changes into my life.
