Hi, I saw this site and thought wow this is just what I need to get me motivated. I have been thinking about losing weight for ever it seems. I seem to start with good intentions but never follow through...My boys have made it very clear that I need to do something and they are willing to work with me. They have let me know that they are worried I will not be around to see them grown with children of their own. It's made me determined to lose the weight and become a healthy person. I know my boys will be supportive, but sometimes someone who is going through the same thing understands where you're coming from.

Hi Betty, this is my first post and I know what you mean. In December, 2004 after a nasty divorce and custody battle, I had a major meltdown. I decided that I was sick and tired of being sick and tired and that as a single mom, I needed to be there for my sons, but more importantly for myself. I joined WW and lost 35 pounds in 6 months and have maintained that weight for the past year. The one thing that I have learned thru all of this is that if I'm not happy, I cannot be a good mother, friend, etc. Take the time that you need to become healthy and remember that there is A LOT of support out there.

You guys are welcome to come down and chat with us in the Bck (suppose to be Back, but we can't spell -lol) In Kindergarten #10 thread in the misc. clubs!
Would love to chat and support you in your weight loss journey

In the meantime, welcome to the site.

Good Luck with your weight loss!! You can do it!!
