Introducing myself! I'm 31, have two children (6, 2), and I'm also 5'4 and weigh 195. I've been kind of trying to lose all of the weight I gained while pregnant with my son since his birth, but I've recently been putting more effort in... And have gotten almost no where! I've become very discouraged and just attempt to hide from scales, my reflection, photos, etc., so I'm not reminded that I have not been able to do this. I think if I had some support it would help a lot!!! Talking to anyone in my family about weight has not been helpful to me at all.

I'm hoping to lose 20-25 pounds by end of September (I'm in a wedding) and would like to eventually get to 150.

You'll find lots of support here, its a great group of people.
