I am 24 yrs old, happy mother of three and wife to the best hubs in the world. I work for a gov't contractor in VA. I wish I could say that I just had a baby and that's why I have gained so much weight, but let me face reality, I had a baby almost 2 YEARS ago. I refuse to use that as an excuse anymore.

I feel disgusted when I look at myself in the mirror. I was a size three (jrs) a little over 4 yrs ago and since then I have had another child and everything about my body right now disgusts me. I am at 185 LBS!!!!!! I thought I was fat at 120! I am on my journey to change my life, to feel pretty again. I want to be told by my husband that I am beautiful again without the "BUT". So here we go, time to take it seriously!

    Hi! Welcome to MFP, I feel your pain. I am a mother of 3 kids and my youngest is almost 2, so i have no excuse there either. I am wanting to lose weight for many reasons, but one of them is to be that sexy wife my hubby can be proud of. When we met and married i was 106, now, 12 years later, I was my heaviest at 180lbs. I started my life style change, and weight loss journey 5 weeks ago today, and have lost 12lbs! I couldn't be happier, I feel better than i did just 5 weeks ago and I can tell that even the stretching is becoming easier. I wish you luck and please add me as a friend, i'd love to be a support system for you in this journey.
  • Thank you all. I hope that I can get through this. I have a very supportive husband and he is great! Best wishes to all of you as well.
