Hi I'm Fallon I'm a 25(almost) year old SAHM to 3 young kids .And I've decided it's time to lose all this extra weight . When I met my husband 6 years ago I was 160lbs( I had just lost 30 lbs) I'm now at 192 and I cant take it any more .My main problem is I have a horrible time staying motivated and I'm hoping this site may help with that as my skinny family members are no help at all

Welcome, welcome. I'm new too!

I think the thing that has helped me to stay motivated is being surrounded by encouraging and supportive people, both in real life and online.

*cheers*

Hi Fallon! I'm sorry that you are having a rough time. I agree with blackdove, keep yourself surrounded by support. It's tough, but you'll get there.

I lost 20 pounds wich is the most I have ever lost and it was because of this website. You can suceed if you use the ladies here as your strength.

Thanks everyone . My family is supportive but they just dont really understand .My moms never really had trouble losing any weight she gains so she dosent really understand . And my stepmom has the opposite problem she cant seem to keep the weight on .My best friend is heavy like me but she really dosent care to improve it (I asked if she'd like to work on losing weight together when I sarted this ) . I just really need to be held accountable to someone to keep myself motivated I think . So hopefully this site will really help with that .

Welcome! you definitely came to the right place. Just stick around, read the posts from the ones that have reached their goals and see their before and after pictures. If those arent motivating then nothing is...lol...because it sure worked for me. and stay active on the boards and the motivation and support will just fall into place and you will be closer to us than your family...lol..good luck! you can do it!
