Hi everyone! Well, I guess I'm here for the same reasons as everyone else. I am tired of being overweight. I feel very ugly and unhappy with myself. I have never been slim, but was very nicely shaped until recently. I have had two children in two years, they are 18 months appart....they are my world but I have not lost the baby weight ......not even close. My first pregnancy was a very tough one with lots of problems...I gained 66 pounds....I guess I thought I could eat whatever I wanted bc I was pregnant.


I was 200 lbs when I got pregnant.....so I was 266 when I had my son. I really didn't try to lose weight after....I guess I thought it would come off on it's own....it certainly didn't.....nine months went by and I didn't lose hardly anything. Then I found out I was pregnant again. I did better the second time....gaining 35 lbs...that put me up to 301 when I had my daughter......she is 6 months old now and I weigh 273....I have lost 28 lbs....which I am happy about....but am no where near what I want to be

I am getting married next May, and even though I want to be smaller then I ever was before....my dream is to weigh 200 lbs for my wedding....I am really in need of some support....my fiance does not understand bc he is very slim. I am looking for someone or people who are very motivated and can encourage me, as I seem to be bad at that part. Just someone who can help me through this time so I can have my dream wedding and feel totally confident about myself. Thank you

Hey there! You got my support. I totally understand. My boyfriend is skinny, he is very supportive but doesn't understand what people my size go through. He's like just eat less, it makes sense but if it was that easy we would all be skinny. Are you following any type of program?

I know....mine tries to help me but always feels bad for me when I want to eat something I shouldn't. I was looking into the South Beach Diet.....I am really big into sugar and desserts. I know.....I feel like such a cow when I stand next to him....I just want to be happy standing next to him at our wedding....you know? Thank you...it's nice to have someone to talk to about it....hopefully we can help eachother

I know, sometimes i feel weird in public. He is happy to be with me but I feel like we look like the number 10 when we walk down the street. lol You can IM or message me anytime. angiepants78 AIM and yahooIM
Its way to hard to do it alone.

I know what you mean, my fiance loves me and I know that, but it just sucks to see really small girls walk by and me think "wow, I wish i was that thin'

I'm here for ya too. I've been overweight all of my life. And i've tried so many times to lose weight. I was so tired of the diets failing that I just gave up on all of it. Well just recently, June 11, I decided it was time for a change. I promised myself that I would stick to this new lifestyle. I even wrote a contract with my signature. I didn't think it would help, but it really does. The first two things you have to do is to get started when you are ready, and always have a good attitude. I am extremely motivated and happy that I am becoming healthier because I know I deserve the best for me and nothing is holding me back. If don't have a good attitude and enter a new lifestyle saying "sigh, here goes another diet" you will probably give up soon. Enter the new lifestyle with your head up high and tell yourself that you are going to change and be healthier. I am telling you this from my exerpience that attitude is huge key to weight-loss. So, I say good luck to you on your journey. You can do it without a doubt. If you believe it you can achieve it.

Hi, I know what it's like to be fat your whole life and have the "skinny people" always say "why can't you just eat less and exercise more?" Well, after all these years of yo-yo dieting I have found a plan that works for me and that I enjoy very much. I joined WW in mid-May and have lost 27 lbs. so far. What I like most is that there is a lot of choices of foods to eat and you don't have deny yourself your favorite foods, you just find better versions of the things you like to eat. Whatever way you choose to lose weight, I'd be glad to help
motivate.
