I need to get healthy for my kids!

  • Hi everyone....I am taking a big step here....talking to others about my weight loss struggle. My name is Darlene and I am 34 years old. I was at a healthy weight about 13 years ago...not an ideal weight for me...but a healthier one than I am at now. Then I moved in with my boyfriend and managed to gain 40 lbs in one year!!! Since then I have packed on another 30.

    I have tried so many diets and before my first wedding, I managed to lose 20 lbs which were gained back within 6 months of the wedding. Since then I have lost and gained back probably 100 lbs. I am tired of the yo-yoing and am trying to lose weight with the intention of keeping it off.

    I want to get this weight off not only for myself but for my 10 month old twins at home. I want to be able to play on the floor with them without struggling to get back up. I want to be able to chase them and play outside without becoming winded!

    I guess what I am really looking for is some accountability and support!

    Can't wait to meet people and make some new friends!
  • Welcome and good luck with your weight loss and getting back to having loads of fun with the twins
  • Hi! We have the same goal! My daughter just turned 1, and it's such a struggle to run after her all day. I'm hoping I can play as long as she needs me to without needing a rest.
    Good luck!
  • Welcome! Good luck with your efforts!! YOU can do it!!
