I am not really good at introducing myself but here goes. I am a 25 yo SAHM to a 15 mo girl. I joined 3 fat chicks at the end of last year after finding the book at Barnes and Nobel. I was doing good on WW and then I just quit. I dont know why I guess just daily stress and I didnt want to deal with it. I got on my scale today and am just discusted with myself. Am I really that big? I am ashamed I let myself get like this. I just haven't lost my baby weight. The only problem is she isnt a baby anymore. I need to quit making excuses. I now have 40 lbs to lose. It feels almost impossible. I have looked around the site and I see so many people successful. You are my inspiration!!! Tomarrow I am going to start calorie counting I just don't know how many I need. I am 5'4 and 150 lbs. Does anyone know where I can find out? Thank you anyone who read this long rambling post.
Then you'll come along with us to the calorie counters threads and make yourself at home. In every back slide there are lessons learn. You are much smarter than last time.

Thank you Susan for such a warm welcome! You know what you are right instead of feeling like a failure I will look at this as a learning experience. I all ready feel a lot better. Your kind words couldn't have come at a better time. Off to the chatty calorie counter thread I go!
Hi Hope,
I can't actually remember where I first found a calorie recommendation, but I just wanted to say welcome to 3fatchicks and if I did it, so can you! Our stats are almost the same - my highest was 160, at 5'5...the only differance is that I am now below my goal, and you are on your way. Good luck!
I'm 5'4 and weigh more than that so I can totally relate, it is so hard with kiddos I' know. My name is Tarrah Im 23 and the mommy of 4 under 5, I have about 75Ibs to lose Hope to get to know you better :bighugs: You can do it
