My name is and I am 31 years old. I have been struggling with

my weight since I was a teenager. I had lost some weight and then I

got pregnant and had a beautiful boy in March. Before I got pregnant

I was about 280 pounds and I weighed 320 on delivery day. I have been

at about 300 since a month after his birth. After Thanksgiving I

started watching my calories, keeping them between 1000 and 1500

depending on my activity for the day. I was 303 and I am down to 284

now. I always seem to do good in the beginning and then I start to

get misled.

One of my hardest things to resist is my husband. He don't like

anything healthy, so cooking for him is always hard when I am on a

diet. He always has candy, cookies, ice cream, chips, and more around

the house. As everyone knows its not good to have junk food around

period. But so far I have been eating healthy and keeping away from

the junk. I try to keep telling myself I want be healthy, expecially

for my baby. He has been a lot of my modivation. I would love to get

down to 150 pounds but I am just going to aim for 250 right now. I

was hoping that I would be down to that by spring.

I am glad I found this group I hope it helps me stay motivated and

talk to other woman going thourgh the same struggles.
