Well I am new here and I am soo excited that I found a site like this! I started my weight loss journey about a year ago. I have fallen off the wagon numerous times and gotten back up and worked towards finishing what I started.
When I was 18 I got pregnant and well I was not extremely healthy then (154 and 5'2'') but it wasnt too bad. Well after I had my baby on July 10, 2007, a beautiful healthy 6lb 12oz baby girl, I lost the weight (I was at 182 after giving birth to her) and I was so happy to have had a baby and drop right back down to my normal weight within a couple months.
At my six week check up I had Mirena IUC inserted (Sept 18, 2007). About 6 months after that being in I started to steadily gain weight. I was working out by walking for an hour each day, and doing walk away the pounds, I was also eating healthier than I ever had in my entire life. But the weight kept coming.
A little over a year after having the baby I weighed more than while I was pregnant. My all time high of 202lbs.
I have fallen off the wagon soo many times and didn't work out or ate bad foods. But I have managed to lose 31 lbs, which makes me pretty proud. Its crazy cuz it was very very hard to lose almost 20 of those lbs while I still had my mirena iuc in. I had it out a few weeks ago and I have lost 12lbs in two weeks and I have so much more energy now that my body doesnt have strange hormones in it.
I just started 60 days of insanity with shaun t. last night. So today is day two. I tell you it is very very hard. But as long as you push yourself to the max and do the best you can do you will lose weight. Its not possible to not lose anything when you are burning crazy amounts of calories and sweating gallons LOL.
Well now I have gone on far too long LOL.
Im really glad I found this site so I can get support now and help support all you beautiful ladies!!!

Hi aubreysmommy!
It sounds like you're off to a good start and on your way to meeting your goal! The past doesn't determine your future - you can do this!

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.

So welcome - you 've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!
