Hi Everyone.

repochick

My name is Jenn and I am new to the site. I am starting to lose weight.....again. I just can't seem to stay motivated but I am determined with help and support I can do it. School starts next week so I can start my 3 mile walks again and I have already started eating right. I am a stay at home mom with a 8 yr old son and 4 yr old daughter with Down Syndrome who always keeps me on the go. My motivation is to be around for them. My mom died from Cancer when she was 48 and I don't want to be that to my kids.

I have started a support group on Facebook called Chubby Buddies that offers support and diet tips as well as a place to post what works for you. It helps but I love the calorie and exercise counter on here!! If you want to check it out, just request to join when you get to the page. It's fun!!

Anyways, that is all from here. Hope to start posting some weight loss numbers here soon. Take care!
Jenn

Hey all... I'm a new member here as well. I'm hoping that the positive encouragement and website tools will help me to stay accountable to myself and finally get back to a healthy weight. I know it's going to be an incredibly long journey, but I guess it needs to start with the decision to take the first step. So, here we go! I'll post numbers as well, as soon as I have some results to post
