    Hello,
    I'm new to the boards..
    I'm going to finally get this weight off.. I've been inspired by Biggest loser and before and after photos on Youtube.
    I currently weigh a whopping 260-something pounds will know the official weight on Wednesday at my first meeting with Weight watchers. I've done WW before and lost 12 lbs only to gain it back plus 40 more.. I've had 2 pregnancies and gained 50 lbs with each, only to be 15 lbs heavier than what I was at term.. my pregnant belly is now filled with more fat.. ugh..
    I hope to come on the forum daily and use it to motivate me.. I have 100lbs to lose..I am a hundred pounds overweight..I am obese..I need to change this and I will..

    Welcome! Funny all the things pregnancy does to your body, huh? I have 2 kids and gained more AFTER then during, go figure. You'll find tons of support here and I'm sure that those lbs will start melting off in no time. Good luck

    hi Slim
    the things we do for our kids hey?! Ironically, the havoc it wreaks on our bodies getting them here sometimes makes it very challenging to keep up with the little darlings once they are here.
    Welcome! I'm new on this site too. I think I'll stick around. Hope you do as well. Your post makes me think that it doesn't so much matter what the numbers are, 100 lbs or 10 lbs- I think it's all the same process. It's about taking charge and making some life altering decisions about who we are and how we want to live our lives. Thanks for being here.

    At least you have a great attitude about this poking through! Keep it up and you are right you will lose that weight! I agree with above. The things we do for our kids like ruining our bodies () Plus trying to lose weight and stay healthy is harder in my opinion with kids running around!

    Welcome! Hope to see you around and good luck!

    Welcome!
    I had a baby in March 09 started out 266 or so, lost weight during pregnancy, then put it back on to 270 or so the first year of her life. I'm an inch taller than you, but I can totally relate to how you feel...

    Started my weightloss journey July 13th, 2010, now here I am, over a year later, 82lbs lighter. I'm thinner now than when my husband and I got married by about 33lbs or so. In fact, I'm thinner than when we met! Woo-hoo!!! I just wanted to tell you IT CAN BE DONE!!!

    100lb club is awesome group in this forum, BTW.
