Hi my name is Amy and Im am 25 years old. I am a mother of three; 7,4, and 4 months. I am 4'11, 184 lbs and if I have to hear my grandmother say "you have such a pretty face- if you would just lose the weight" one more time Im going to scream!!! I live in Ohio and have been married a little over a year. I have never been a thin girl but I have never been this big in my life. So after lurking here for about a month and after reading all the great support and ideas I am ready to join. I am starting weight watchers for the 3rd time tomorrow because I have always had good results with it- third times a charm. Im dedicating my self to this and am just looking for some friends along the way- I seem to do better when I have someone doing it with me! wish me luck!!

I can understand the grandmother thing. My grandmother worries about me and my weight. She's not real tactful in telling me I need to lose weight. I know she's concerned. You have a lot of people doing it with me. I'll pm you my email addy so you can email me directly as well. You can do this. It's hard but well worth it.
