Hello everyone! My name is Shannon (32) mom to Jordan (5) and wife to Brian (32) for almost 6 years. I did not start a battle with my weight till I was grown. But once I started it never stopped. I have tired all kinds of diets and even WW several times. I never stick to anything and never loose very much. However I have reached that point. I am tired of not being able to keep up with my very active 5 year old. Last week I went out for drinks with my sister and some co-workers. There was several pictures taken. When I got them I wanted to cry. I am so tired of being the fat one. I am tired of worrying if I am going to fit into a chair. Not being able to do active thing I want with fear I will not be able to keep up. So times are a changing. I am going to start WW tomorrow. However I am going to wait till the first of October to actually join a meeting. Just because of my schedule for the next few weeks. I have all the materials and know the program. Now it is just doing it and keep moving. I weight 255 and would like to be at about 155. Look forward to getting to know everyone and taking this journey together.

hi there, i'm new too, i only joined today.

my name is jo, i'm married to rob, and we have been together for 3.5 years, we have 1 son, jacob who is 22 months, and 1 daoughter jessica, who is 10 months.

i have battled with my weight since i was 18 years old, as i developed cysts on my overies, which at the age of 21 they were treating me for cancer (which i didn't have yet!), they had me on sterroids, and i swelled in weight.

i'm so glad that there is a website for people to join and talk about these things, and also help support each other, well done 3ft, you are wonderful women,
