Hello Everyone !!! I'm a sahm to 3 wonderful children. My youngest is 3 months old. Just to give you a little history about my weight issues. I never was skinny growing up. My mom is a fitness instructor & took nutrition classes. We always ate healthy & she always pushed us to exercise . But my mom also struggled with her weight. My weight all throughout high school & college fluctuated. It wasn't until i had my daughter did i have a hard time losing weight. And if i did lose weight i could never maintain it. I suffer from seasonal depression, pre-diabetes, & i overeat especially sweet foods. I'm looking to finally slim down ( lose about 65 pounds) & keep it off for good. Any one interested in being a buddy we can email back in fourth, talk on social media, & on the forum !!!!

ps. please excuse any grammatical errors/typos lol

Welcome and good luck on your journey!!!

Hello Mama Dee! I'm pretty much in the same boat...I've struggled with weight my whole life, and now I'm bigger than I've ever been. I'm ready to make a change, so I ordered my first shipment of Medifast...it should be here in a few days. I am committed to sticking to it so I can lose at least 60 pounds. Anything more than that would be a bonus! I now have high blood pressure, I'm tired and sluggish all the time, and I get winded easily. I'm tired of feeling bad so this extra weight has GOT TO GO! I'd love to email/chat with you...it would be great support!

Hello girls,
I am on journey to be healthy. I have been also overweight my whole life, although I think I was too hard on myself looking back. I should have been happy at my weight in high school (165 or so) but have never had good self-esteem. I gained weight in my 20's and 30's (90 lbs.) lost weight because of bad health and have since gained 40 lbs back. 2 days ago I turned 45 and I don't want to repeat the cycle. I need to join a buddy group. I think you can never have too much support.
Thanks, Heather

Hi Ladies,

I'm in the same boat-- been struggling with my weight my whole life. I'll win some battles, but eventually I lose the war. I would love to be a part of a support group. Perhaps, if I have some folk to talk to or to keep me on track, I won't run out of steam and resolve before I reach my goal.

Wow, aside from your mom being a fitness instructor, we could be twins! I need to lose about 65lbs and am a big sucker for sweets! They have been my downfall! I have 3 kids, mine are older than yours, and I have been overweight since the first one...eehhhmmm....17 years ago( well, ok, almost 18).

WE CAN DO THIS

I'm new too. I'm a stay at home mom to 4. I really don't have many friends, especially none that need to lose weight, so a buddy would be great! I would like to lose at least 75 lbs. I definitely didn't have healthy role models, but I have tried a couple times to lose weight just to quit shortly after. I think due to lack of support. I'd be happy to be a friend good luck!!
