I am new here also. I know exactly how you feel. I am going to start Jenny Craig tomorrow. Hopefully that will work. I looked at a pic o myself today and was wondering what happened..lol. It doesn't even look like me But I am with you! I am going to get in shape. If you need anything just let me know !
*hugs* You can do it!!

I hope Jenny Craig works for you. I started WW today it went pretty good. At lest I made it thru the first day lol And If you need anything or someone to talk to Im here for you! We can do!!

Well here I am again!!! Ugh I didnt want to fall off last time I felt so like that was it I was done being this way and I had made my mind up! This site really helped me a lot. I love getting on here and reading what other ppl had done and how well they are doing. Also how hard it is for other ppl to change and stop doing this to ur self not just me. Really I didnt start doing bad untill i didnt have the time to get on this site anymore then it all went down hill from there. Now I have lost 6 months that I could of used losing pounds before my wedding. Such a shame. I really want to be the best bride I can. I know I wont look like I came off a tv wedding and Im ok with that but I know I can look and feel so much better then I do now. And I really want to be the best mom I can. And thats just not happing when Im to worried about how fat I am and what ppl are thinking when they see me. Its sad when you dont want to go to the park with ur kids cuz u dont want ppl to see u. Well this time im going to do all I can to keep coming here. Cuz I just can take it anymore!

sunshine,

i am also new here, from ohio and the mother of 5 y-o boy/girl twins! hoping we can support each other as we go. congrats on your impending nuptials...weddings are so fun! i am the matron of honor at my sister's wedding in October 2009...that coupled with several other factors are motivating me to get my buns in gear and do SOMETHING!

look forward to seeing you around,

Hello Fellow Ohioans!
I've been battling my weight for a long time. I was successful in losing 40 lbs 2 years ago..quit coming to the board and putting myself first in my life and guess what? YEP...gained it all back..so I'm back again.

I post on the January Club, and sometimes on the RACE to 199. Hope to see you around and watch those tickers move down!

That sounds great I know I really need a friend for support well even just a friend would be great. Its hard making friends when you have kids well at lest for me it is cuz i never go anywere or do much but take care of the twins since my soon to be hubby is a over the road truck driver its pretty much just me and the twins. And i know what u mean about wanting to look good for weddings I know I am so ready to do SOMETHING!

I too have been battling my weight pretty much my whole life i was always a chunky kid and just kept getting bigger. I will have to look into the january club.

HELLO OHIO! I'm from Ohio, too, but now I'm in Phoenix because that's where I got stationed. Where in Ohio? I'm headed back to Columbus on leave in exactly two weeks. I'm so excited! Anyway, this is a great group of women and I hope you enjoy it here!
