Unhappy Guess What? I'm new lol

My name is Elisabeth I will be 27 on the 19th of this month and I'm over weight for my height. I am 165 lbs and 5"2. I haven't always been this heavy....
up until I had my second child I weight 110 lbs. I gained over 50 lbs with in the last 2 months of my pregnancy. It's been almost 2 yrs since my son was born & im still trying to get this baby fat off. It's is so hard to loose this weight.

Hi Elisabeth!

Lots of folks here gained weight with pregnancies, and with kids at home, it is harder to start on the path toward getting healthier. The good news? Making a healthy foundation for your family now, including healthy eating habits and regular exercise, is going to have immense benefits in the future not only for you, but also for your son, who will have good habits in place before he even realizes what you're doing!

Have you visited our 20-somethings forum yet? What sort of plan are you following? We have forums for most healthy ways of eating, so look around, find a spot, and settle in.

Can't wait to hear more from you soon!

well I am a member of a wellness group at my job called the Weight Removal Warriors. We have team meeting every 2 weeks and have lots of encouragement. At home I walk and yesterday i bought one of those work out balls and man....it's is totally fun. I haven't really found an Exercise I could say I enjoyed, until now. It's fun, and you can do it in the privacy of your own home!
