Starting all over and I need support!

Hi! I am Rawan and I am a 29 year old mother of three.. I am also a researcher and a final-year PhD student. I had twins last December and gained 60 pounds.. I was always heavy to begin with.. I would like to loose 60 pounds.. I am 5 foot 7 and I weight 220 pounds (I can't believe how big I am :( ) I would love some support and motivation from people with similar goals (or not!) I will try to be as supportive as possible too :)

    Hi Rawan. My name is Peggy. I am starting over also. I do not have children but can relate to being overweight most of my life. In March I had a complete knee replacement and gained 10lbs since march. I am at 223 and have not been under 200 for over 10 years. I want to lose at least 60lbs also. Maybe we can help motivate each other. Congratulations for getting back to it again! Sometimes I feel like everything is out of control around me mostly because it is. I need to gain control of my weight and I think things will look much better.
