Hi all, they say the hardest part is admitting you have a problem

I am 5.8 and 223.8 pounds (first weight in on this past Saturday) and I want to loose this weight and have the energy to enjoy the summer with my wonderful family!

So I am Gwen, a stay at home mom to two little boys 5 and almost 2 year old little boys. My DH is a fatty also, but very supportive and wants to lose weight also.

so any one else in the same boat or have words of encouragement.
Gwen

Gwen, We seem to have so much in common. I guess we all have one thing in common here though. I will be here. Hopefully losing weight every week.

I am 5'7" But I don't know what I weigh. I know I have probably close to 100 pounds to lose to get to my ultimate goal though. That seems unreal to me. So depressing.

Right now I am going to concentrate on just getting to a point where I will claim my body again.

I have turned into a horible mother. I don't do anything with my kids because I just can't stand leaving the house in my huge tshirt and sweats. Blah....

Anyway. I will be working toward my goal for a long time. Windsong from another post had the idea to start a new thread for us all to support each other daily.

Write me anytime. I need lots of weight loss buddys and support. And I hope I can be there for another chick in need also.

Well, have a great day!!!!

Hi Gwen!
I'm Robin I'm kind of new too. I have been doing ww points on my own for almost a month. My youngest is almost 2 also. I have 3 older dc as well 18,almost 14, & 10. I stay at home but do daycare. So I have a 4 yo and almost 7mo in my care also. I feel the same way as you, I want to lose this weight so I can enjoy doing things with my family. My dh also needs to lose quite a bit of weight. He is not following WW. He is trying to cut back. It irritates me because I try to stay on plan and have been doing pretty good and have lost 11 lbs so far. He just cuts back and continues eating junk and drinking pop and has managed to lose 16 lbs! MEN!!

Oh well it's nice to meet ya!
