edited November 2024 in Motivation and Support
Just starting my journey all over again and needing some support and motivation. I am a mother of one extremely active 6 year old boy and I would like to be able stay active with him. I have been very active on this site in the past and used it loose 55 pounds! That was the best I felt in a long time and I had energy for days. Over the past two years, I have been playing musical scales: I have slowly gained majority of that weight back, lost some of it, and then gained again, grrrr, It has been a constant battle! During that time I became pregnant with a second child and gained even more weight. I lost him to a miscarriage at 5 months and the depression that came after that was a hard one to overcome to where I didn't care if I lost weight or not. I know I am not alone with that feeling, as miscarriage happens to so many women, So I'd love to have some support and motivation from all you strong ladies out there. I have a fairly sedentary office position now, and I am having trouble finding the time for exercise and need help and motivation to get myself back on track. I use to enjoy exercise but now it feels more like a chore, help! I could really use some friends to help me get those pounds back off again! For good this time!

Feel free to add me!
Thanks!

    My baby was born with chromosomal anomalies and died at 2 months old. That's why I gained my weight back too; I just didn't care anymore. Lots of alcohol and comfort foods. Add me if you'd like :)
