Hi everyone!

I stumbled onto this site this evening while surfing for some motivation to continue my diet....and stick with it this time. I was always slender up until my parents passed away and my pregnancy soon after. I gained 70 pounds while pregnant and lost about half of it. My daughter is now almost 4 and the "baby weight" is still there! I've had enough. I've been really inspired reading some of the posts and am looking forward to getting to know other women on the same journey that I am on.

Hi gr8tdanemom!
Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated, inspired and entertained!

There are lots of people here with more to lose and lots with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here a short time myself, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of cheating or giving up.


So welcome aboard - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

Thanks for the welcomes! Day 2 has been going well....I discovered mashed cauliflower tonight and it was actually really good! And the vidalia onion vinagrette I picked up at the grocery store was a nice substitute for my usual ranch. Onto tomorrow!

congrats!! I started my diet today so far so good. It has been easier then I thought it would be. Good luck to you!!
