Hi! Another newbie here, looking for support for my weight loss journey. I'm a 31 year old mother to a 2.5 year old boy and 7 month old girl. I recently realized that I have been overweight for practically all of my adult life, after gaining 100 lbs on Depo Provera when I was 19. I want to be able to keep up with my kids, have fun with them and not always be the one behind the camera in family pictures. I have about 60 lbs to lose and that number seems overwhelming right now.

KESTREL ... you'll find lots of other young mothers here who will love to give you ideas and support. Look around, jump right in, and have fun. Glad you found us ~ a fellow encourager ... Rosebud.

I'm a newbie too. let's support each other to successfully becoming healthy babes!
