in Introduce Yourself
I am 5'4 and before I had my first child I was less than 130 lbs, I gained 70lbs with him and only got down to 169 after four years. Now after having my second I am up to 184. I have never felt so bad about myself before, and I hate looking in the mirror. I break down every time I try on clothes. I know I have to change that so I am trying to eat healthy and exercise but I have no motivation and no support. No one in my family really takes their health very seriously but I want to.

I am really looking for some people to help me through this tough time. People who can give me amazing support and motivation and I will return the favor. With a little help I know I can gain my confidence back but I need you to help! So let's start this journey together!!

    I know the feeling, girl! 5'5 or so and just today weighed in at 190. I feel good, but holy crap have I got a ways to go.

    It's totally possible, you can do it even if you're the only person in the house trying to change their habits for the better. Feel free to add me and ask questions here, MFP is a good place to turn for support. :)

    I remember feeling that that when I had my children. Unfortunately this site didn't exist then, maybe if it had I wouldn't be on here now. I've been on here for only a week but the support and motivation have been fantastic. Know you'll get to your goal with help from your friends on here. Feel free to add me, will support you in your journey.

    Been there, done that. Thirty years later and my "baby-weight" has ballooned to an extra 150 lbs. I started this week. Add me as a friend if you like. We'll fight this battle together!
