Weight Loss Noob Here :)
 

So, I'll start out by saying my name is Rachel and I'm 25 years old. I live in Alabama with my husband Chris and our 2 year old son, Evan. I'm in school full time right now going for my bachelor's in elementary education! I only have about a year and a half left! Being in school, working full time, and having a son makes it hard to find time to work out. It's also much quicker to go get fast food on those nights that I'm tired.
I have always had a weight problem though for as long as I remember. I don't feel healthy and I'm not confident with the way I look. I decided that it's time for me to take control of how I feel about myself. I want to have mor energy for my son and I want to look better for my husband, and for myself.
The last three days I have done so well with drinking water, not eating fast food, and eating lots of fruit, veggies, and no fried food. I just need the motivation to keep it going. I feel better already! I have seen alot of amazing pictures on this site that have me so excited about all the possibilities! I look forward to getting to know some of you and encouraging each other! I hope all of you have a wonderful day :)

Welcome. I suggest you look for a Support Group or Challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated, find one that inspires you or fits your needs, and just post to join.

Keep up the good work!

Hi Rachel, welcome to 3FC, we are glad you are here!

Thanks everyone :) I have about 60 pounds I want to lose! My husband and I are talking about having another baby and I would really like to get all of this extra weight off so I'll be able to chase my little one around while being pregnant! Thanks for the support so far :)

Rachel,

Heya! I have two little ones and am a full time student too. I totally get you! (And I'm new here, too). I just wanted to say Hi. And I totally understand where you're coming from.
