I have been fat since I was 12 years old. Thats 34+ years wow! I remember when I was pregnant with my daughter I weighted over 200 lbs.
I have tried to diet many times. Of course I had no sucess. In Jan of 05 I went over the 300 lb mark and decided that I couldnt keep doing this to myself.

I started to slowly change my life. I started walking and joined a gym. I started watching what I ate and tried to change little things.
Well its been 2+ years. I exersize regularly, mostly walking 5 to 8 miles a day. I have changed a few more of my eating habits too.
I have lost 90 lbs. I know its been slow going but I figure if it took me 34 years to get fat its ok to take 4 or 5 years to get normal again.

I have hit a few plateaus and when I used to diet that was usually when I would fail. Now I look at it differently. Now I think if I dont lose now and again its ok.

I have been at the same weight for over a month now and just this week lost a pound Yahoo!
 
YEAH!! You have a diary now.

The walking 5-8 miles is impressive lady! You are well on your way to losing the rest of it. Glad you are here.
 
thanks MoonGoddess

Well I think I finally have gotten over my plateau. I lost 2 lbs on my weigh in today.

I am very excited about getting over the 100 lost mark. 8 lbs to go! 2 years ago I would never thought I could come this far.

I am eating more fruit and trying to drink less diet coke.
 
Congrats on the lose of the two pounds! So do you have any ideas of how you are going to honor yourself when you do pass the 100 mark? Seems like it will be sooner than you know it. :)
 
well I lost another 1.5 lb on Friday.

I started another part time job and its quite physical (lots of walking)

I sometimes wonder if I will ever be normal.

I had a restless week and couldnt sleep well.

Today was nice out so I spent some time outside with the horses.
