Im new

My name is Theresia, I am new to this. I am a stay at home mom and trying to get motivated to lose all this weight I gained during and after my pregnancy. I used to love going to friends and relatives houses, But now I dont even want to leave my house, I am ashamed of the way I look and I HATE having my picture taken. I dont even recognize myself anymore. Its hard for me to be active because I get winded so easily.

Hi there! I fell the same way! I got married in July. When I looked at the pictures I was horrified! I feel like I am trapped in this horrible skin!!!! Good luck and keep us posted!!

Welcome. This site is a great motivational tool. If you accuratley record what you eat and what you exercise, you will learn soooo much and you will lose weight. If you need help you must reach out and make friends. When you have questions don't be afraid to ask. Or if you need encouragement. We all have had our "turning point" when we realised we are getting out of control, when our size has impacted our lives, our relationships and our confidence. Even a small weight change in the right direction has given us the encouragement and motivation to get started on the journey of losing weight. So start with small changes, have a piece of fruit instead of a cookie when the cravings hit. Record everything. Start moving, even if it is just a walk to the end of the driveway. (when my back goes out, that is where I start over, a walk to the end of my driveway and back.) I am going to befriend you and we are going to do this together.

Hi, I want to be more active for my grandchildren. I'm tired of being tired.

I'm just getting started myself. We have taken the first step. I am going to live by a quote I heard once. To accomplish great things, we must not only act; but also dream, not only plan but also believe! Believe in yourself!
