Hi there. I'm new to the site and it seems really helpful. I'm trying to lose weight and I'm starting my second week tomorrow. I've added exercise to my daily routine and significantly reduced my caloric intake. I lost three pounds this week so far. Off to a good start I guess. It's nice to have a support system and some encouragement along the way. I gained 70 lbs when I was pregnant over three years ago and was 200 lbs when I gave birth to him. I'm now 151lbs and my goal weight is 130lbs. I have a long way to go, but I'm very committed to losing the weight.

    Hello Lisa and Welcome!!
    Congratulations on the 49 pound loss….you only have 21 left to go. You have already shown you can do this.
    I use to weigh 311 pounds. I have lost 171 pounds. I am now working to keep it off….and take off a few vacation pounds I have gained…..3.6 pounds to be exact.
    Hang in there….stick with it and before you know it those 21 pounds will be gone.
    Again Welcome!! It is good to have you with us.

    Hiya Lisa!

    This site has great members with tons of support, motivation & excellent advice.

    I too gained 70 pounds with my first but lost it all but still hanging on to a few pounds from my second.

    You will lose the weight amd get healthy for your family and will feel so proud of yourself.
