Hi!! You will notice on this website their are alot of threads and groups going. I'm part of the stay at home moms (sahm) Have you looked any of them over?? I was wondering if you found one that was right for you? Well until you do or even if you don't I would be more than happy to email you and you can email me for support!! I love getting email and sending it. I'm 21 years old. married for almost 4 years now with two beautiful kids (2 yo and 1) needless to say after the kids were born I had a problem getting the weight off. But now I'm getting close to goal. After I had my second child I hit 195! That was my heaviest. I lost 30 some odd lbs pretty quickly and plateaued around 160. That's when I began dieting. What diet are you on or planning to get on? I was on atkins. I lost 20 lbs within 1 1/2 months but got sick of eating so much meat that I quit and gained 10 lbs back. So then I decided to try low cal. I had never tried it before. And I've lost 13 lbs so far! So all together since I began dieting I have lost 23 lbs and still losing. I love low cal. I'm at 137 right now with a goal of 125 eventually. But I would love to hear from you. I love to give encouragement as much as recieve it so it will be a two way street!! my email is [email protected] please write and tell me a little about yourself! Hope to hear from you soon!
