Hi Everyone,
This is the start of my weightloss journey. I never imagined I would be here, almost 300lbs. Growing up I was small or skinny for a better word. I always had a good appetite but it seemed like when I stopped getting taller that the food I ate started spreading everywhere else. I kept gaining more and more weight. After I had my first child I went on Weight Watchers, joined some exercise classes and lost about 40lbs but once I stopped that came back and then some. I just had my 2nd child that I only gained 15lbs with but I have never lost that weight and have gained a few more.
A friend of mine did the Sleeve last year and I had my doubts but she is doing so well. She sold me on it. Ive tried everything and this is my last straw..I need to be healthy for my hubby and my kids. I want to be active and them be active with me.I dont want them to pick up my bad habits. I want to enstill in them a healthier lifestyle so I have to change my lifestyle.
