BMI of 40, on a weight loss journey.

Hi all! I'm a mom to an 18 month old and have gained 50 pounds since I gave birth. I was at 290 pounds and have been able to lose over 10 pounds so far on my own, and looking for others that need motivation and want to maybe help me out a little too! I've joined my local YMCA and have been going almost everyday! I'm trying to lose 100 pounds by my wedding in may of 2017, and if I can lose 1.5 pounds per week I will be well below my goal weight :) above and beyond just looking good, I'm really doing this for my son. I want this to be a lifelong change for me and to be a role model for him. I'm ready to be healthier and just taking baby steps this last month I'm feeling so much better about myself! I don't want to fizzle out though so I'm reaching out for support from people who have the same goal to be healthier and happier! And I'm here to help however I can too! Thanks :)

    Hi, I like your attitude. I have been on diet and weight loss plans many times before. But the mfp community has provided so much inspiration motivation and accountability that there's no way I can't succeed this time. I've only been here 4 weeks, but I love it. Sending a friend request.
