I have been trying to change my lifestyle so many times that I dont even want to mentioned it here .. I think we all been "there" that stage where you try and give up .. But I am tired of giving up on myself .. geez.. I need to take action before the doctor says it to me

Hi Everyone my name is Erika , I had weight issues since my early 20's , i can see my life a decade ago like a rollercoaster! up and down with the wt.
I'm 34 now and mom to 3 beautiful boys of 3,19 months and 2 months old ..

Something happen to me after give birth instead of losing wt I started gaining wt.. ( I guess I was not those lucky women that lose wt after giving birth)

I think it's been 3 weeks now that I noticed my hips hurting everytime I walk!! or when I go up and down the stairs , I knew then that I gotta do something about it !!..

I hope I can find friends ,people just like me that is trying to give this a try , but this time .. doing it right !!... are you on board ??

Hi Erika.

Welcome to the site!

Like you, I have tried all sorts of things to no avail. I have come to the conclusion that NOTHING will work for me except for good, old-fashioned exercise and a good diet plan that doesn't make me feel like I'm starving. Since I follow the Biggest Loser plans, I am making progress. However, I have certain comfort foods that I have to still learn to enjoy but in MODERATION! LOL! I will get there, though!

I had thought about bariatric surgery but can't afford it. I don't have insurance that will cover it. Whatever.

Anyway, good luck to you and once again, welcome!

Deb

Hello and welcome to the board!

We're glad to have you here. This is a great place to come for support, guidence and motivation. Nice to meet you! :-)

This is a great place to get all the support you need, and advice as well. I lost weight briefly after the birth of my twins (now four) but gained it all back and then some rapidly after that I'm finally at a place in my life where I can truly focus on getting healthier, and while I've experienced set-backs over the last five months, I've worked hard and I never want to go back again. Good luck, this site helps!!

thank you everyone ! I feel like I am not alone anymore
