Hi there!

My name is Sarah and I have a weight issue. I have struggled with this since 6th (seriously!) grade and if I do lose weight, I immediately gain it right back. I came across this website a few years ago and I was too prideful to join. Please forgive me.

I just got married this past June. When my husband and I got engaged, he weighed 450 lbs. I told him he had to take care of that...while I did nothing of my one issue. Between September '06 and June '07, he lost 137 lbs! (Nutrisystem is his success story) I juggled 20 before the wedding, and another 10 after the honeymoon - but in the last 8 weeks, I have GAINED 20LBS!!!

I don't know if its because I'm on birth control now, or because I've just given up...but I am very unhappy. My husband, of course, says nothing about this sudden increase, but I know that my being upset bothers him.

I'm ready to take action. My mom and friend are walking a 5K in November and I would really like to join them.

Thanks for taking the time to read this...
s.b.

i bet its birth control. people gain weight like crazy on it

Do the walk! You'll need to do a couple of 4-5K walks before the actual event so you're prepared for it. You have a goal now so happy days! Don't beat yourself up over the gain; in saying that you are "ready to take action" you're already on your way to weight loss

Hello Sarah
Welcome to Three Fat Chicks I hope you feel welcomed I'm Taneisha Moore I have been gone from here for a while and I'm back to give all my support to the new people coming in

Hello and Welcome!! Good Luck with your weight loss!! You can do it!!

Thanks for the encouragement! I feel very welcomed here. My husband lost a lot of weight before the wedding (130lbs!) and I think that when I complain it makes him feel guilty that it's so easy for him. Any support you guys can throw my way would be awesome!
