in Introduce Yourself
Hello,

Just joined yesterday. Here's the deal. Was heavy all my life, went on slimfast my senior year of high school and lost over 60 lbs. Got married the next year and had baby number one, four years later (April of '10) after baby number two I have gained back 70lbs. I'm horrified. I am struggleing to fit a size 26. I'm not even 26 - shouldnt your pants size be smaller then your age at this point??!! Haha!

JUST got back from a 35 minute "brisk" walk and I'm feeling pretty good. I know i can do this because I have done it before. Anyone willing to buddy up with me, i would love it! I haven't lost with anyone before and I think it would give me the will power to stick with it.

Wish me luck :)

Caroline

    Hey Caroline and welcome to MFP! You're right, if you did it once, you can definately do it again! Just break your goals into mini goals of about 10-15 pounds to lose at a time and it won't seem too overwhelming.

    This site has so many great people who offer help and support. Stick with it and you'll reach your goals!

    Good luck!!

    Hey! I am happy to welcome you to MFP! This is a great site that has wonderful people to help motivate you. I too struggle with my weight. I have lost it, gained it, lost it again, and now gained it again. It seems so hard. I know that with a little motivation and will power, we can do this =) Good luck, and I will keep tabs on your progress...you can do the same with me ;)

    I'm on day 6. I just keep telling myself ~ I didn't put it on overnight ~ I'm not going to loose it over night. My goal 50# by my 40th birthday next year (June). I just keep coming back to the site for support. Good Luck!
