I'm happy to have found this board, now only to find the confidence to become a regular here! I haven't read a whole lot here, but have read enough that I know that I fit in here. I'm a 31 year old SAH/homeschooling/M (stay at home/homeschooling/mom). I have hit my highest ever weight recently 263, and am ready to get it all off! What really kicked me in the butt and said you have to do this was a comment by my 9 year old son while watching a comercial on tv.. a comercial for Lap-band. "Mom, that's what you need!!" I wanted to bawl my eyes out then and there! Then a few days later my hubby sweetly says honey what about getting one of those surgeries. He loves me with all of his heart, and I know he does. He never makes comments that I'm fat. He never acts like he isn't attracted to me. He supports me in everything I do.. even eating a huge bowl of ice cream at 9:30 while watching "The Biggest Loser" on TV! He also supports me in trying to get the weight off.. so now the challenge begins.
My goal weight is 130 pounds, that is the lowest I can remember weighing since middle school. I am counting calories and doing it on my own. I am not good at sticking to anything I start, but am very committed to losing this weight!
Anyway, I'm happy to have found you all, and look forward to meeting you all!
