When I first started this journey over two years ago I weighed 292 pounds. Even as I typed the numbers 292 I simply can’t believe I once use to be that heavy. Before I found the NLD Family I joined Weight Watchers for 5 1/2 months, never cheated and lost 38 pounds but was tired of losing 6 oz or so at a time. If you can only imagine being so heavy and only losing a few ounces at a time, it was just so defeating. Feeling like I just couldn’t continue this and being so heavy losing so little I went to my doctor and asked about Bypass Surgery. My doctor told be that I would have to diet for one year and he would have to keep track of my weight loss and after a year we would go from there. A year, I have been dieting my whole life and its not working, isn’t that enough? On my way home from my appt. I felt that feeling once again defeated! That was way back then and I am happy to write I am no longer that defeated girl. A coworker told me about his wife who was on NLD and so I should check it out. Why not I thought it couldn’t hurt all I have to lose is weight as I laughed out loud. Little did I know that the girl who once weighed 292 to 237 would end up weighing 164 pounds all thanks to the NLD family.
