New and need motivation

  • Hey everyone!! My name is Robin. I had this really long post typed up and my window was shut down. Guess that is natures way of saying "keep it short"

    I am a 26 year old mother of 2. My daughter, Ellie is 2.5 years old and my son, Garrett just turned 1 last week. My husband, Logan, and I have been married for 1.8 years. We plan on going to Las Vegas for our 2 year anniversary in May. I want to look smoking when we go!

    Currently I weigh 212. I bounce back and forth between 205-212. My goal is to be 165 by May. I know its a very manageable goal. I am starting 30 Day shred tomorrow, as well as going to the gym on hubby's days off, and walks during the day. I am going to start eating better and ignore the sweet tooth.

    I lack motivation to get me to the end but this time I am going to do it. I must do it for my self. For my self to be truely happy, I have to lose this flappy belly and weight.

    Cant wait to get to know you all!!
  • Robin, Glad to have you join us. My advice is to look for a Support group, Chat, or Challange to join; small groups make it easier to get connected. Most sub-forums have groups covering almost every need, find one that inspires or motivates you and just post to join.
  • Hey Robin!

    I'd second the advice to find a support thread or group...we have lots of options out there (like the 20-somethings, groups by eating plan, etc. So look around and jump in to any/all of the spots that feel right.

    Then just keep going. Can't wait to get to know you better!
