Hi everyone!

My name is Laura and I am new here. I'm on Day 5 of my weight loss journey, and it's definitely been a little easier this time around. I have been reading posts on the board and saw how supportive this community is, so I thought I'd finally say hello too.

My main profile photo is my from 2007. I added that pic instead of a recent one to remind me of where I want to be. I was at my healthiest weight in that pic because I had lost weight and was very active at the time.

I gained my weight in 2011. I got pregnant and was going through a divorce. It was rough. My ex-husband did not make things easy for me during my pregnancy and I covered my emotions with food. After my pregnancy I never managed to take the weight off. Being a working single mom didn't leave me much time to care for myself.

Now, during this pandemic I have been home since March. I have gained more and it's not good. I had to close my business, so who knows when I'll get the green light to reopen again. Its been depressing. The unknown...

I'm here because I want to focus on my weight and get healthy again. I want to be that cute 25 year old in the photo. She was happy, fit, and healthy. I know she's still in there, somewhere.

Please add me as a friend for some support, or ill add you. We can all do this together!
