Hi, my name is Karen aka Marthbob. I joined the group to share and to be encouraged as others are going through the same thing as myself. I am carrying more weight around with me than I want. I did reach my goal weight back in 2003 and then got pregnant with a 3rd baby and just haven't gotten the weight off and actually gained more. I was trying in 2007, but life went topsy turvy and I lost focus on Me and my healthy weight. I gained 35 pounds since 2007. I am ashamed of my weight. I want to be healthy I want to look good and I to be proud of myself as I once was. I am a mom of 3, stepmom to 1. I run a home daycare. My goal is to loose 85 pounds by November 2011! My mid goal is to loose 50 pounds by July 2011.
Hi Karen! I just joined today! Yours was the first thread I read. It looks like we have similar goals. Today is my birthday, and I want to be 100 pounds lighter by next year. I have my work cut out for me. Best wishes, and I look forward to getting to know you.
