Hi everyone. My name is Jeri. I'm 33 years old - a stay at home, homeschooling mom of two boys and a girl, aged almost 9, 6, and 4. We are Americans living in Mexico near the US Border (that's what most people find most interesting about me ). Since September, I have lost almost 30 lbs (though it really sucks when you have SO much to lose, because no one has noticed other than my husband ). I have about 108 lbs to lose to get to the top of my goal range. That's all, for now!
Hi Jeri!
Sounds like you're a busy lady with your hands full! Congrats on your success so far, you're off to a great start - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on..
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired. Try the 30 somethings and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.
There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.
I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.
So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
