hello there...
Just wanted to say hi to everyone and introduce myself. My name is Ava. I'm 27 and have two little ones. I've always been overweight, but I'm seriously tired of living this way. It's never really been a huge issue for me until a few years ago when I really packed it on. I found myself not being able to do things with my kids and that crushed me. I have to do this for myself, but also for them.
I started last Monday and I've already lost 3 pounds. I'm counting calories, changing what I eat and hanging out with my new friend Wii Fit. I'm looking forward to meeting lots of new people on here. I need that extra push sometimes and I think if I let others know my temptations, it will be easier to let them go. |
Hey Ava, I'm new here also> we have similiar stories...I'm 27 with two young kids and have always battled my weight. Since having my kids though it has been overwhelming, wayyyyy too much eating! Welcome and if you'd like to chat, I'm around, Kate

:wel3fc: Hi Ava!
Sounds like you're off to a great start with a good plan- congrats on your success so far - the support you need is here to achieve your desire to be healthy and happy for those precious little ones - 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. Try the 20 somethings, the Calorie Counters and the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation. 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 since last fall, 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 |
