and a multiple time failure!

Hi everyone! I'm Sarah, I'm 29 years old (30 in 6 months! Ack!) and I weigh almost 240. I just had my second child at the end of July. Last year, I dropped 60 pounds and was getting my groove back--I ran my first race, and BOOM--got pregnant. I need to lose at least 100 pounds, if not more, to be at a "healthy" weight for my height.

Since having the baby, I've really lost my ability to stay away from junk. I have NO will power at all lately. I was actually losing some of the weight initially, and then I think depression reared it's ugly head and now I've been eating to feel some control and happiness. Sad, eh?

I spent some time this evening looking through all of the goal pictures and I was so impresses and proud of you who have made great strides, even though I don't know you. It helps to see those pictures of people who have made a life change and stuck with it--I can be like that too!

I'm really hoping to find a support safety net here and have a system to hold me accountable for my actions. I really hope to get to know you all soon!!!

I am new as well. I just started losing weight even though I have been wanting to for about 2 years now. I have lost 5 pounds and want to continue to lose more. I currently weigh 170 pounds and want to get to 130 pounds. I know I can do it if I set my mind to it. I haven't set a goal date yet. I am waiting to see what my rate of weight loss is. Wish me luck! I am glad I found this website. There seems to be a lot support. I also look forward to supporting others in their goals as well.

Good luck Stephanie! It's nice to meet you. Congrats on your weight loss already!

I am going grocery shopping this weekend and throwing out all of our junk. I'm sure my husband will protest, but oh well!

Hi and welcome to 3FC.

Good luck with your goals.

Hugs
Michelle
