Hey Everyone!

My name is Katie, I'm about to be 29 in September, and am a married mother of two living children and one angel who died in December 2007.

I'm about 70 pounds heavier then I was on my wedding day (just 5 years ago) and nearly 100 pounds heavier then I was when I met my husband (about 7 years ago), I'd love to lose anywhere from 70 to 100 pounds, though I think I'd be happy with 55, which would bring me to nice 199lbs.

I'm an emotional eater, and a stress eater, and having two young kids while dealing with the grief of having one of our twin boys pass away (at 20 days old) has left me doing a lot of extra-curricular eating. I'd love to break the habit of feeding my emotions and get started with weight loss and finding "me" again!

Since we'd like to have another baby sometime soon, I need to get a handle on my weight now, otherwise I know I'll only continue to gain and my self esteem and relationships will suffer.

I hope to find motivation, information, support and friendship here, having people who "get it" will surely help!

Katie

There is a ton of great support here and a forum for everyone. So sorry for your loss. I know all the moms on here say losing weight has helped them have more energy so I know you will find some inspiration and the encouragement you need to keep up with your little ones! Good luck!

Welcome to 3FC! I am sorry to hear about your loss and I'm sure that it must have been very hard on you. This is a great place for motivation and inspiration! Good luck to you on your journey of losing weight! Just losing 10% of your body weight can increase your chance of concieving up to 70%! That's just 25 pounds for you!

Hope to see you around the forums alot!
