Talking New here

Hello! I am new on this board and as I was looking around to find an area that fits my situation, this one jumped out at me. I cannot believe that I really need to lose that much weight but I do.

I just had my second child (I have a 2 yr old also) and am ready to get my body back as well as keep my sanity with exercise. I want to be a fun mom that can do everything with her kids. Not to never get into the water because I hate the way I look. I know this is going to be a uphill battle but I love challanges.

I hope to get to know and help support all of you. Can you suggest any other area on this forum that has been really helpful to you?

First off your DD's pic in your avatar is adorable! I am a newbie in here too, and am finding these forums full of great info! I figure support in numbers, is alot better than trying to do it alone. I have to drop another 102lbs, before I hit goal, and can't let myself go backwards. We can do this! Well good luck on your weight loss journey! Look forward to getting to know ya.

Hi and welcome. You have a beautiful daughter. I mostly post here but I do look around at most of the other places. I like to find new recipes at weight watchers and south beach, etc. I like to peak in on the maintainers and see how it's going there and I also love to read the success and support sections.

Welcome! I just started on 12/27 and, in addition to the great support on the forums, especially here on the 100 lb. Club, I have found posting on the journal section to be very helpful. It keeps me accountable. Glad that you're here and look forward to getting to know you better! And congratulations on the birth of your beautiful daughter!

Welcome moon puppy The 100-lb. club is a great place to start. Find your comfort zone, and then start to check out some of the other threads. I've just started posting on the ww general board, and checking out the recipes, etc. Also, reading the success stories is quite motivating. The Find a Buddy thread (or whatever it's called) is also helpful if you're interested in hooking up with someone and emailing off-list. It's nice to exchange ideas and support
