I'm a SAHM to three from NJ. I started this long road at 196 when my 18 month old daught was born. I had gotten down to 147 but went back up to 173.5 due to my "nervous breakdown" over the months of Dec/Jan. I thought I was doing great but just found out yesterday that the scale has been giving me crazy numbers - not even sure if I wasn't heavier then 173 when I got back on track. UGH. I know I shouldn't dwell on the numbers as my clothes have gotten loser, but geez!

PS - prebabies - I was 109 my entire life. (I'm only 5'0" tall and very petite) so - I've got a looooooong way to go yet and am getting VERY discouraged.

Hello and welcome... have you taken measurements? I find those help when the scale isnt showing progress I just turn to the tape measure if thats showing progress then its all good And dont give up keep at it... you can do it. Dont think you can, know you can.

Hey there, welcome!
I am new and think we can help each other. I am also 5'0 and was very petite then the weight started creeping up. I try not to look at the scale so much, there is a difference losing a couple lbs on a person our height to say a person who is 5'7. I look at the results. Do I feel better? Do I look better? How do my clothes fit? Of course I do weigh myself but it is not the main focus. If you ever need encouragement or just a friend I'll be here. Feel free to PM me any time. Good luck and keep us posted!

Hello my name is regan and i'm new to this I was wondering if you would be a buddy to help me out? Thanks Regan
