75 pounds
 

Hello. I'm pretty new to this site. I ran across it while searching about different things associated with weight loss and it seems pretty cool.
I'm a 25 year old mother of two. I have an 8 year old and a 1 year old. I currently weigh 213 lbs and before this 217 was the most I ever weighed in my life!
I'm so tired of being overweight and am willing to do what I have to to finally lose the pounds. I have been reading some of the success stories in the forum and I look forward to all of you keeping me inspired!

:bravo: As someone who also started with close to 75 lbs to lose, this site is a great first step in finding the motivation and support you'll need in your journey. Good luck! :hug:

Welcome...I am also working towards losing 75 lbs which I gained during my pregnancy.

I'm right there with you, with the 75. We can do it! :)

YES! I don't feel so alone now knowing there are others with the same goal! Let's do this!

Welcome Luvchuchu! You've landed in a great spot here for support, advice, and inspiration. Looking forward to seeing you around the boards!

:welcome3:

:wel3fc: Hi luvchuchu!
Sounds like you're off to a great start with the determination to get it done - 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 and inspired - you'll be a wonderful addition to any of them. There's also info and first hand advice on different eating plans and exercise to help 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 going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

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

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
