Hi. My name is Melissa. I am venturing again on the weight loss journey, and this looks like a great place to begin. I am temporarilly a stay at home mom. I have three children, 2 boys, 11 and 8 and my baby girl, who just turned 6 months (hence the stay at home). Staying at home has been terrible for my weight though, as all I do is pick and eat and pick and eat. Hpefully, this year I can get it together.
I have over 80 lbs. to lose and will need some motivation. My husband sucks in that department, although he tries. LOL! Hopfully I can help people as much as they help me. I am looking forward to the new year and the changes ahead of me. Happy dieting everyone and good luck.

Hi Melissa to 3FC, good luck with your goals!

Hi Melissa!
You must have your hands full with those 3 - sounds like you're ready to get on track for a healthier you - 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!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee

Happy Holidays!
