Default I need to get healthy for my kids!

Hi everyone....I am taking a big step here....talking to others about my weight loss struggle. My name is Darlene and I am 34 years old. I was at a healthy weight about 13 years ago...not an ideal weight for me...but a healthier one than I am at now. Then I moved in with my boyfriend and managed to gain 40 lbs in one year!!! Since then I have packed on another 30.

I have tried so many diets and before my first wedding, I managed to lose 20 lbs which were gained back within 6 months of the wedding. Since then I have lost and gained back probably 100 lbs. I am tired of the yo-yoing and am trying to lose weight with the intention of keeping it off.

I want to get this weight off not only for myself but for my 10 month old twins at home. I want to be able to play on the floor with them without struggling to get back up. I want to be able to chase them and play outside without becoming winded!

I guess what I am really looking for is some accountability and support!

Can't wait to meet people and make some new friends!

Hi! We have the same goal! My daughter just turned 1, and it's such a struggle to run after her all day. I'm hoping I can play as long as she needs me to without needing a rest.
Good luck!
