New here and need encouragement!
 

Hi! I'm new here. I have a friend that suggested the site and here I am.

I have always "thought" I was heavy, but in reality, I was just a normal size girl. But listening to certain people in my life, I became what I like to call a "self fulfilling prophecy to FAT"

I spent 6 years in the Army where I was able to maintain my weight, still about 20-30 pounds overweight. I got out of the Army and had my first set of twins very early. Sophia passed away and Ava was in the hospital for 3 months. The weight packed on after that. Then in april of 2008 and I had my second set of twins, Tessa and Elijah.

My husband is deployed to Iraq and I really want to take the time he is gone to work on myself and the way I see myself. The best part is, my husband could care less if I never lose a pound. He is truly amazing. But I really want to be healthy for me, for my children and I'd like to look hot for my husband!

Time and motivation play big roles in my weight loss plan. I need a partner to keep me on track and lots of people to motivate me!

If you made it this far~ Thanks!!!

I'm new here too, Trish. And by the looks of things, we are right about the same size now. I lost weight last year and gained it all back, so any support I can get would be much appreciated, too! I am so excited to be here and meet people who are in the same boat as me. I am positive that I'm going to make it work this time!

Welcome Trish! Sending you lots of encouragement.

Welcome...I'm new here too. I think it is going to be a great place where I can vent, get inspiration, and find people that will help me NOT QUIT like I have so many other times!! I know how hard it is to focus on yourself when you have small kids...I'm in the same boat...I have a 6 yr old and a 4 yr old. I'm trying to kind of re-establish myself as a PERSON, not just a MOM. I think that in the end, it will make me a better role model for my girls!

Good luck!!!!!
