Red face Midwest Mom here

It was funny I was browsing the net to find hand puppet patterns for my son, and got linked here I'm still not sure how ...

After reading through several of the successes and trials everyones going through I literally was brought to tears, thinking maybe even I could have a chance. I've been denying that my weight was a problem for a while now but after my old jeans finally wore out and I had to do that dreaded shopping trip ... had to put the 18's back then the 20's are tight even I have to admit it finally to myself. I know for a fact I can't do this by myself and my husband is a huge support and wants me to be careful and be healthy above everything else if I'm going to make it stick I know I need to be healthy

Well to me right Hi I'm 31 I have 2 wonderful boys and a delightful daughter who need me to be healthier but more on point I'm doing this for me..

my biggest vices at the moment are soda - pepsi to be specific trying hard to cut it out

I haven't been on a scale since my last weight check when I was pregnant with my daughter in 06 and I was in the 220's then

I asked for a scale for my coming b-day thought hubby was going to choke he's so cute lol

I'm so happy I found this place I know you all have either been there or are there right now

Hi, Mubaudi!

I just joined today. I know what you mean about soda. I'm a Coke girl myself. But I love WATER too. I've loved water since I was a little girl using the metal dipper at my Mamaws to get some ice-cold-fresh-from-the-spring water. It was so good!

I'm glad I found this place too. I think we'll both find lots of support here.

Hi MidWest Mom,
The best things in life often happen by accident, don't they? I also found 3FC when I was NOT looking for weight loss, and I am not sure how myself. But I am here to stay as I found that losing weight is lot more fun than what I had thought it would be.
Welcome!
