Hey everyone, I'm a 28 year old grad school student and mother of 2 hoping to make some connections here and find support in losing weight.

I was always really skinny and fit as a teenager and even into my early 20s, but after I had my second child, I just couldn't lose the pregnancy weight and then gained even more from poor eating habits. I've been really unhappy with how I look and feel for the past few years, and although I've lost 15-20 pounds a few different times, I always fall back into old habits and gain it back. This time, I'm trying to really focus on changing my mindset so I can make the necessary lifestyle changes to feel healthier and more in-control of my eating habits. As part of that, I think it's important for me to find some support and not just try to do this on my own without telling anyone. And maybe by being supportive to other people, I can learn to be more supportive of myself and have more success losing the weight and keeping it off this time.

I look forward to getting to know some of you!
