Hello, I am just joining here so I thought I'd tell you all alittle about me. I am 28, married, and I have 2 boys ages 7 and 2. I love cooking and entertaining, and I love watching football! I have decided that I am in a real unhealthy state right now, after having my annual dr. appt. last week and my dr. said that she would like to see me drop a few pounds..... I am 5'5' and I weight 188lbs. I can not believe that I have let myself get this out of hand. I really have never had an issue with being over wieght until I got prego with my first son and gained 45 lbs and only lost about 15 lbs of that. Then about 3 years ago I lost another 15 lbs. then I got prego with my 2nd son, gained 26 lbs and still haven't really lost any of that weight. I have always made the excuse to myself that I am only over weight because of the pregancy....I now see that I was just lieing to myself. So this is the year for me! I am no longer going to be trapped in this body, no longer going to pretend that it is all because of the prego's, that is no excuse!!! I am going to need all the support I can get, I will tell you all now that I WILL need a kick in the ass every now and again! My goal for now is to lose 30 lbs, but to eventually lose 50, but right now I am working on the 1st 30. Wish me luck
Hi! Welcome to the forum. Congrats on making the decision for a better and healthier life! You will find very supportive people here. I have been here since monday and these people have pretty much helped me through my first week and me losing 3lbs!
I wish you luck on your journey and hope you get to where you want to be!
I've been here since end of Dec and have already lost 9lbs. The support here is great and the forum's are addicting. I could spend the majority of the day here. I have only one son, he's 2. I gained 60 lbs with him and thankfully lost all of the weight with him. However it's the 15 I gained after getting married that I really want to lose, and the other 35 that I should lose. My husband and I want to have another child in the next few years, but I don't want to weigh as much as I did when I got pregnant last time - nor do I want to gain 60lbs again!
Thanks for your support. I am doing really good with watching my calories. I have already lost 2 lbs!! I can't wait to get my eliptical fixed and start using it again.
