I am brand new here and excited to get started! I am 31 and the mother of two. I have a 22 month old son and a 6 month old daughter; I have my hands full to say the least. We moved to Arkansas for my husband's work when my son was 6 weeks old and I love it here. It is beautiful. I never really lost the baby weight from my son when I found out I was pregnant with my daughter, so I have a long way to go.
I weighed this morning and I am at 215.0 and my goal weight is 140. I am excited to start this journey. I want my body and my health and my confidence back!
Looking at all the posts, I'm very excited to join! Everyone looks super supportive and encouraging here. It's a great thing!
I am excited about getting started now as opposed to early January. I started about 6 weeks ago and already have lost 12 lbs, so I feel like I can do this with some support.
My weight is stress weight, that I took off and then put back on.
Welcome, dandimae! You really do have your hands full, don't you! My boys were born 20 months apart and I thought that was close, but wow, you've got me beat!
Hi dandimae!
I bet you are quite busy with your precious little ones! Sounds like you're ready to get started - the support you need is here - we'll all be here to cheer you on.
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's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help choose the right ones for you and get through the ups and downs.
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 few months 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!
