Default New here...Ready to be a new me :)
Hi everyone,

I am here because I have about 65 pounds to lose and this looks like a place with awesome support and motivation. I am currently 236 lbs and would love to get down to 170 for my height/build. I had a baby girl 5 months ago and am still holding on to 8 lbs or so from the pregnancy. I really want to be a healthy example for my daughter and children in the future!

I have lost weight twice before and got down to 200 by doing the South Beach Diet and once just through intuitive eating. I have some emotional eating problems so I really want to address that issue this time as well and learn healthier ways of dealing with stress than eating.

If you read this far- thank you! I look forward to hopefully "meeting" and encouraging others!

Welcome and good luck. This is the place for support! There is a South Beach group (on here) if you go that route again.

Welcome and good luck in your goals. You may want to consider joining a challenge -it is easy (just post that you want to participate when one is starting) and motivational!
