announcing new fat chick

  • Hi everyone,

    I am new here. I am a 35 year old stay at home mom of 2 little boys and I have been on a weightloss journey for a little more than a month. I am doing Jenny craig (direct) and I have lost about 20 lbs! I started at 233 and I am down to 213. I am 5 9" and my goal is 170. I gained weight after having each child, not during my pregnancies. I also gained from steroids I took due to allergic reations, a broken foot and I had to be on the pill for a few months. This was very depressing for me.

    I have not been under 200 lbs since before I had my children and I am looking forward to that moment very much! I have been walking and using wii fit! It is so much fun. I am taking it one day at a time. I only get frustrated when I think about how far I have to go :< I am happy however that my health is improving. My cholesterol is down (it was 298!) and my medication was reduced to half so far. I am so proud of anyone who is trying to lose weight because I know how difficult it is. I am also concerned about the keeping it off part, but lets get there first girls!
  • Hey DandBmom!

    Sounds like you've got a great start!

    We have forums for Jenny Craig folks, so look those up. You might also look at the 30-Somethings, a support group for those in your age range. We've got all kinds of clubs around, so take a look, pick one or a few, and settle in. Can't wait to see you around!
  • Congratulations on what you have already achieved!
