Inttoducing myself...

[slimmingdown1lasttime 0]

Hello..I am new to the site and just wanted to introduce myself. I am a proud mother of three; twin infants who are seven months and a five year old. I have pretty much strugggled with my weight most of my life. There have been times when I have lost weight only to gain it back; Before I only had to lose 20 to 3o lbs, but since I have had kids I have been in the ranges of needing to lose 80 to 120 pounds. I currently weigh in at 271 pounds and my goal weight is 160. !60 has been my goal for as long as I can remember. I use to be 180 trying to get down to 160. It was hard for me then, so just imagine now. Well, I decided the lap band would be good for me because I am one of those people who never get full and when I lose weight I only gain it back in a matter of months. With the lapband I figured I would finally learn how to eat small portions. I do not have a date just yet. Tomorrow (april 2nd) I attend my first meeting. From what I understand I have a long ways before I have my surgery. nutrition , weight management, psycho analysis, and etc... I really wanted to have my weight down before my 30th b-day in OCT, but it looks like I will still be in the process of getting the surgery. The good news is when i do finally have the surgery it will be my last time slimming down...
