Hi my name is Kaylin, I'm 28 and I am married with two kids. I have never been small, 145 was my smallest weight in high school. I don't mind not being skinny but at 145 I wore a bikini and looked hot doing it. I was about a size 9/10 then. I got married at 21 and had a baby and then another baby and here I am at 200 lbs now. My goal is to lose 60lbs. I started my diet 3 days ago. I am eatting every three hours after waking up. all the meals are healthy and small. So far I am starving but I will not give up. I feel in control of it right now. I am not going to weigh myself till monday. I feel like watching the scale every day will freak me out. I am staying below 1600 calories a day. I really pray it works this time. I have to change or I think I will just disapeer. People don't talk to the chunky girl. I hate the fact that the clothes I love don't fit and I got a tattoo that goes all the way down my side and I can't even show it! I also have a 6 yr old daughter that I don't want to grow up with a fat mom. It always makes you think that could be me, I don't want my kid to think I don't want to be like my mom.
Welcome to the forum! I'm pretty new around here myself, but everyone is so nice and supportive.
Good luck on your weight loss goal! I'm positive you can do it.
Welcome Kaylin, we are glad you are here, please keep us updated on your progress

Hi Kaylin, one of my good friends had a beautiful daughter with that name. it sounds like you are very unhappy with your weight--that is a good motivator. Staying under 1600 cs, but not 1200 is also a good idea. 1600 would be a good starting point, if you have never counted calories before. You can go down as you need to if you are not losing.
I feel exactly where you are....I am new here too; and was never the skinny girl; but I was slim before my daughter. Now I can't handle looking at myself in the mirror or having my picture taken. If you need some lean on support I am here!
Depressed and ready to change
