Default New Here

Hello! I just wanted to introduce myself. I have been lurking the past couple of days and am so impressed with the motivation and support here! I am Kim, married to my GI for 15 years in March. I am 33 and have two kids. A couple of years ago, my girlfriend and I decided to get on the ball and lose weight. We joined Weight Watchers and joined a womens gym. I lost approx 60 lbs, still hade some to go, but was well on my way. Then we moved and of course, I lost my work out buddy, was put on some meds that didn't agree with my metabolism, etc, etc..gaining back most of the weight. But even still, I cannot blame the gain on anything else but myself. And I am ready to do this again, and make it stick this time. I found myself just in tears the other day when I pulled out my journal from the year I lost all the weight. I was so down in looking at all the hard work I had put into it and knowing how I have gained so much back. BUT, my pity party is over and I am ready to get back on track! I really look forward to becoming an active member of this board and getting to know y'all!

Hi Kymberlee, so glad you've joined us. I have been doing this for a month now, and this group has been an absolute lifeline. Many of us (and I am one) have lost weight and gained it back, and sometimes it makes you wonder whether it's worth doing it again. But we all know it is, and we'll be there for you when it gets tough and you feel like giving up. You go for it girl!

Hi Kymberlee - I feel your pain! But, like you, I am ready to get this weight off once and for all - and I have no one to blame but myself for where I am today! I am 35, married, three kids and am determined to get healthy and stay there. I am looking for a buddy to email back and forth and help each other stay motivated, exchange recipes, keep each other accountable. Let me know if you're interested. Good Luck!
