Can I join please?
 

Thought I'd do a bit of an intro, and say hi!
I am a single SAHM and my days are filled with looking after my baby daughter and home. It's hard work and I am tired all the time, I find it overwhellming at times and this weight I am carrying isn't helping,i need to lose it!!!!!!!!
Even though I am single I am married but my husbands behaviour towards me made it impossible for me to stay with him, so at the start of the year I called time after 10 years together. In those 10 yrs I have been fat and thin and I was thin when I got pregnant and ended up fat, and am finding it almost impossible to hit the 220's, but I so want to show him I can be thin again and he's not allowed any of it :devil: ... also I want to be thin again for my daughter and me also of course!
I know I can do it, but I am lacking staying power and motivation in the first place.
I am also re decorating my whole house - You could say i am attempting to change everything in my life from what it has been, and I would love to have some glamour back in my life, I havn't worn make up since I don't know when. i only painted my toe nails last week for the first time in over a year! And none of my ''normal'' clothes fit, i am going around in a few ''fat'' outfits because I don't want to buy a whole new wardrobe - I want to be back in my own clothes.
So, anyway, this is basically my plan of action!
*get to 166lbs or under
*glamourise myself
*redecorate my house
*try and be happier for daughters sake.

Welcome to the group! We're a supportive, helpful bunch and I think you'll find you fit right in :). As for happiness, I think that is a state of mind more than a state of affairs - sometimes doing some mental and physical housecleaning can be just what the dr. ordered for helping bring a little more bounce to your step and joy out ofo life.

I am sorry you're having trouble with your husband, that can be highly stressful. I wish you the best and hope that some of the lifestyle changes you're looking to make can positively impact your marital situation, as well :hug:

Hi and welcome!!!

I am also a single mom. Kicked my ex out about three years ago, but still not officially divorced. I share some of your feelings - I got fat eating my unhappiness, have struggled to lose it but so want to (and so want him to see it!). I also clean to get a feeling of orderliness, and also redecorated after I gave him the boot!

Anyway, this is a fantastic place to get support, advice, a cheering squad and a listening ear.

Welcome and good luck!!!

:welcome3:

Welcome to the site! It's a wonderful place to get advice, get inspired, and help others.

Welcome! I'm glad you found us. Post often.

Welcome!

Welcome!

Thank you for the lovely welcomes :)

Avi, sounds like I am where you were at 3 years ago! I think the decorating and the cleaning (I am with you on the cleaning thing too!) is maybe an outward symbol of getting the inside sorted (?).
I just feel I need to change everything around me, maybe find me again too in the process.

Welcome! Good luck & God Bless!

Welcome!
This site is so supportive and not just with weight loss but with pretty much everything!
:)

Lots of support here...Very helpful ladies and a few gents. I love this place. They have helped me lose 55lbs and help me get past the "humps" that we all come to in the diets.

When you need extra help....just post. Everyone is great here :)

Welcome!! Your weight range is very close to mine (both top and goal).

100 pounds is a huge goal but is attainable in small steps. I've seen people do it here on these boards and it's so inspiring.

Welcome! I'm so glad that you decided to join us!
