Hey ladies! I am so glad to have you here. I think the best way to introduce you to this blog is to introduce you all to me and my weight loss journey thus far. So, I'm Daisy of I'm Just Daisy and I began this journey January 2011 at 260 lbs. Why you may ask? Well, I just became fed up and super motivated to put an end to those awkwardly intense doctor appointments regarding my weight where I would stare at the wall avoiding eye contact because I couldn't bare to hear the truth about how out of control my weight was. Growing up heavy was never a problem for me because I was never alone. I come from a thick family and almost never felt out of place about my chubbiness as a child. I became very comfortable in my obesity and also very confident in my skin. However, once death became too familiar and illnesses became way too close for comfort, I decided enough was enough.
My Plans:
400 Calorie Fix Diet

My Plans:
400 Calorie Fix Diet
- Time: approximately 3 months (January-March, 2011)
- Results: -20lbs
- Pros: Great ice breaker for healthy eating and adjusting from terrible foods
- Cons: Went off track for 2 weeks and gained back almost half of the weight lost
- Ultimate Results: Walked away with a -13lb weight loss
- Time: April 2011-Present
- Results: -37lbs so far
- Pros: A program structured around teaching you how to eat all the foods/nutrients you need while also learning how to balance the foods you love. There is no such thing as deprivation! Not a DIET but a lifestyle
- Cons: None thus far
- More: You can keep posted with my weekly updates here
Before Any Diets or Plans:

@TinaDiva Thanks so much girl! You are so right we both have made such a fantastic transition. I'm trying to catch up to you, its amazing we came from the exact same number/struggle. Wow, I am still stunned and I won't ever go back to 260! I just can't and when I get my act together and continue to reach goal we will so take that shopping spree and run with it girl. I have to give you extreme thanks for the support and endless motivation you offer. You truly are an inspiration and a success story, keep up the great work Tina :)
