Hello Everyone!
My name is Jennifer, and I am 26 years old. I am a mother of 2, and have been married for 5 years. I have struggled with my weight ever since having my children. I have tried many different diets, and they all didn't have the best results. Two years ago, I finally had enough and was at my all time highest since having my youngest in 2001. I weighed in at 210 lbs and was nto happy with my body. I started to count my calories and exercise daily. I lost 55 pounds in just over a year, and kept it off until the end of 2006. When I gained back 20 lbs. I once again started to lose weight, this time I started on January 1st, 2007, and decided I needed to make a lifestyle change not only for myself but for my husband and 2 young children as well. We are are kids biggest role models, and if they see me eating all these unhealthy foods then will I be expecting from them in return.
I am counting my calories and exercising atleast 5 days a week. I started out at 180.5 and today I weigh 171. I am here for support and maybe I can help others along my weight loss journey too!

Good Luck to everyone wanting and trying to shed those unwanted pounds!!

Welcome, Look around and post often or read often. I've learned alot and I'm no newbie when it comes to dieting. But you are right when we finally get it in our heads that it is a lifestyle change not a quick fix, I think that is when we get the weight off and keep it off.
