[Reconstruire]

Hi, my name is Marie. I just stumbled across this forum tonight, and I am so excited! I am trying to loose 50lbs. I have always struggled with my wt-up and down. I gained A LOT of wt with my first pregnancy, but took it off easily when I started wt lifting. Got preggers again and gained A LOT of wt again. After initially loosing 20lbs, the needle on the scale has not budged in two years.

I know how to loose wt. I know what I need to do but I just cant stick with it. I think this forum may help.

Hi Marie!
I'm trying to lose baby weight too but mine is from when I was a baby (really!) - the support you need is here to help you stick with it - we'll all be here to cheer you on.

Glad to have you join us! There are lots & lots of different groups and forums - I'm sure you'll find some that will keep you motivated and inspired. Perhaps try the weight loss support forums, they're active and very helpful - also the Success stories are a definite must for motivation.

There are bunches of people here with more to lose and some with less - the bottom line is that we all have to do it a day at a time. The good thing is that we'll have lots of company along the way.

I've only been here since last fall, having NEVER been part of an online forum. What has been so eye-opening is how much it has helped me. Whenever I feel overwhelmed or defeated, I just log on and read some of the success stories, complete with their before & after photos - or read about others still dealing day to day with their challenges - and before I know it, the time has flown by and so have all the thoughts of going off track or giving up. It has made all the difference in my success so far.

So welcome - you've found the right place - join in by inspiring us and being inspired!

All the best - good luck with your goals,
Lee
