Hi guys, I am joining in today! I don't know where to post my "hello" message, and since I am 25 I thought I would do it here. I signed up for another board, and no one was really talking to me... so I kinda felt like I was barging in on a private party...just looking for a place to fit in, support eachother, share eachothers victories and weaknesses!

My name is Aleks, I am 25. I have 3 kids, and I live in Manitoba Canada. I have a LOT of weight to lose. I started packing on the pounds after the birth of my first child, and getting pregnant 2 months after he was born. No chance there! It didn't stop there, so I have 100+ to lose now! I joined weight watchers last week, and my first week has gone well and I am excited for the weigh in... trying to be neutral about it though.

My hobbies currently are photography and scrapbooking!

Does anyone know where on this site, I can get a ticker?

I can't wait to meet you guys, and hopefully make a few friends.

Hi there!
I just joined today, too!
I was looking for a newbies link, and I'm glad you started one.
My name is Erin, I'm 27. I have one child from my first marriage, Hazel, who is 9. I've been married to my Army Man for almost 5 years now. My weight has been a yo-yo thing all my life, which is bad enough but I've got the type of body where 5 lbs means 2 pants sizes. I'm at that "almost there" state, and have been for awhile now.
At my heaviest I was 19 yrs old, a new mom and 205 lbs. At my smallest, I was 26, working 4 doubles a week waiting tables while my hubby was in Iraq, and I weighed 127 lbs.
I'm looking for help and encouragment in getting out of this rut and back into the shape I was once in (age 24, Germany, 5 days/week at the gym, 140 lbs, but *thin thighs*)
Nice to meet you, Aleks! I hope we both find what we need here!
