Hi! I came in search of a group to turn to (and to do my part to help) when I could use help in my weight loss. Over the last six or so years I have put on over 50 lbs. 25 of those in the last 2 years. My boyfriend isn't much help because he's the reason for the weight gain recently, "feeding" me.

I have gotten less and less self-conscious about my size and weight, but my biggest hang up is that the women in my family carry all of it in the belly. Time to buckle down and do something about it! I look forward to sharing!

Hi there, we are all in the same boat here! My husband isn't as enthusiastic about my weight loss efforts as I am of course. It's a lonely endeavour!

I am grateful to have someone who loves me the way I am, but it's been my biggest hurdle. When I'm uncomfortable in my clothes being tighter, or not being able to move like I want, I think "I have to do something about this". Then when I'm comfortably sitting on my couch, craving something I shouldn't eat, I think "this isn't so bad. And I have someone who loves me this way".

Don't worry...you're not the only one who has the genes for carrying it all in the tummy! My boyfriend loves me for who I am not for what I look like...we both have a bit of "goo", lmao! Once we get out of my parent's place it'll be easier for us to control what we eat Good luck to you!
