I am new here and this is my first time being a member of an online community. I am 25 years old. I was an athlete in high school, on the varsity swim team and I also played soccer. I was in great shape. I belive that I was around 110 lbs. I was very comfortable with my body. I could eat what ever I wanted. Since I worked out for almost 5 hours a day I needed all those calories.
My weight gain started in college. I kept the same eating habits but I was no longet participating in sports. My boyfriend also had bad eating habits and we would go out to eat alot.
I now have two beautiful daughters a career that I worked hard to get but I am unhappy with my heath. I want to be able to run around and play soccer with my children. I want to look and feel good about myself. I am dissapointed that I let myself get like this.
I need some positive support. It is hard for me to loose wieght because I have such little time to work out. Also my family has such bad eating habits that I am surrounded by bad opportunities. I am ready to become a healthier person. I know that it will be a long hard road but Im ready!

and congrats on taking the first step toward a healthier lifestyle.
Anyway, welcome! Congrats on taking the first steps!!
