I feel like I am on this journey so many times by myself. It stinks to feel alone. I need people who get it to talk to. I need someone who will not judge me for another failed attempt.
I want to find community.
Hopefully I have come to the right place.
I am a stay at home mom to 3 great kids. I am almost 38 and have been struggling with this for what seems like way too long. I keep looking for the answers. ANd it seems even when I have them that I sabotage it.
I want to win this battle.

I too am looking for support. I am 10 years older, 4" shorter but about the same weight and the same weight loss. It's kind of funny that the motto that you posted is very similar to the motto I have hanging in my classroom. My goal is not to perfectly preserve this nearly 1/2 century old body but to simply be healthy and give myself every opportunity to do the things that I currently do not have the energy and stamina to do. I am brand new to this site and am still learning how to post and navigate.
Oh, and I too have 3 kids, all grown and living on their own. I have three wonderful grandsons and two granchildren on the way. I am an energetic granny and the kids have lots of fun with me and I want it to stay that way. Good luck and Godspeed!

I am jumping on that old health bandwagon again and hopefully this time I won't fall off, bang my head on a rock and wake up to find myself full of cookies and cakes again (shudder). I live in Glasgow, Scotland and hopefully we can support each other. What diet(s) are you ladies trying?

Welcome Ladies. You've Definetly Come To The Right Place., Everyone Here Is So Supportive , And Welcoming. Were Here For You Even If You Just Need To Vent. If You Have Any Questions Dont Hesitate To Ask . God Bless!

Hi everyone,
I just registered this morning and seem to be feeling my way around the site. I am not very good at navigating through the site. I know that I posted my first message to the wrong board. I sure would like any help that any one can give...whether it be for weight lose or posting on the site. Thanks for any help any of you can give. I look forward to chatting and working together on achieving our goals.

Hi everyone,

I am also looking for support. Up until last week when I got on the scale and actually acknowledged that I had gotten so big I was in total denial. I just don't know where to start! This seems like such a huge challenge. I have a very busy life (which I know isn't an excuse) but man I sure liked to use it. I have 3 wonderful kids (11, 10 and 7), I work full time and go to school full time. I just want to say that I am looking forward to supporting each other.

I am excited to find some friends along the way. I talk to my husband, but he does not get it.
I need to find balance in my life and look for the right way to do things. I was at a dinner tonight with 3 very slim chics. And I thought, "I used to be this way." And I can be again. I think the key is believing that. And I think that for a long time now I have not.

I love your quote. Isn't that how it always seems....well we are going to be one of those slim chicks before you know it.

I was once in your shoes too.....went back to school full time, worked full time and had three kids....2 boys and a girl. Mine were a little older than yours are now when I went back. It gets tough at times but hang in there the rewards are great.
