Hi. I am new to the board. I am 42, living in Minnesota with my family. I have been fighting my weight for 20 years. I have lost as much as I have gained but now feel the need to 'buckle down'. We have a family wedding in July and I still haven't lost baby weight - hah - the baby is now 4years old. LOL.

Would love support, encouragement, a kick in the seat as needed.

Thanks.

Hello and Welcome to 3FC!!!

Hi Mellonbelly!

Welcome!

Stick with us, and you will need to change your name from mellonbelly to "Mellonbelly-NO-MORE!"

I'm 55 and weighed 100 pounds more than you when I began, and you and I are the same height! I lost a lot of weight, and you can, too!

For me, I found losing weight INITIALLY after my sons were born was easy. What I didn't expect was the weight gain AFTER each was born! The stress and the sleepless nights with newborns had me in the fridge all the time. I wasn't sleeping much, so I ATE!! It was NOT a pretty picture!

It's hard being around so many snacks all day long, too! Everytime THEY ate, I'd eat THREE TIMES the amount! No wonder I gained 100 pounds!

You can do this! Stick with us! We'll be there for you! Post when you feel like it, and give advice to others when you feel comfortable. We are caring and supportive here!

Thanks for the welcome. I didn't see it until this evening but it sure made my day.

As I have been poking around the different forums, I think I am finding some good places for me.

Thanks again.
