Well, Let me start off with this is sooooooooo not my first attempt at weight loss. Yet somehow I woke up this morning with this huge feeling of determination that I haven't ever felt before. I've decided not to follow any plan per say just to do what it takes to change my eating habits...for good! I have done weight watchers and for me I find it too lenient. Knowing I can have fast food as long as I account for it keeps me on track for only a little while.

I have a 3 yr old little boy and before I got pregnant with him I had joined an online community and got with a great group of people that really helped keep me going. We challenged each other and I really was on track and doing great and losing weight. Once I found out I was pregnant (which, I had been trying for 3 yrs) I had some complications in the beginning which required me to stop the exercise completely. I lost touch with the group and it's been down hill since. My husband is somewhat supportive...I just don't think he really understands. Sure, he could stand to lose a few lbs...just not the 200+ that I need to. He doesn't understand the "addiction" which I truely believe that I have.

I just wanted to introduce myself, I look forward to getting to know you all and hopefully this group can get me back in the groove i was in 4 years ago. I have a looooooooooooooong road ahead of me....but, I have decided to take it 1 day and 1 lb at a time!

Here's to my new beginning!

Same thing happened to me, for some reason I finally feel like I'm ready to do this. Even though all everyone around me does is discourage me. What do they know? I've been reading the posts for a couple of days. I think this forum is different.

Welcome welcome!
