Hello everyone! I know it has been a long time since I have logged into SparkPeople. I fell off the wagon Really, Really bad and found myself weighing 260 lbs in March 09. I was so depressed about my weight and decided to finally get myself together. My final straw was a home video at a family reunion in Arizona that my sons taped. I couldn't believe that was me!!! Not only was I the youngest adult, but I had to be the heaviest also. A few months prior--Oct 2008 I decided to become a vegetarian, but that didn't seem to help me and that's because I was going about it the wrong way. Being vegetarian does not mean a FREE pass to consume all the carbohydrates that you want. Once I figured that out and tossed away the sweet desserts (carrot cake) and found a new love for vegetables I was set for my new lifestyle. I put my new plan in motion May 2009 and now in November 2009 I weigh 191 lbs. I am thrilled to be down 69 lbs. I can see my goal right around the corner. It has been such a thrill to see my body transform...I was wearing a size 24 pants now I am in a 14. My shirts were a 3X and I currently wear a XL---I am top heavy.
