Hello out there! My name is Lesley and of course I am here for some encouragement and motivation to lose weight! I gained 80lbs when I was pregnant with my son and have not lost any of the weight since and that was 4 yrs ago! At the beginning of the year I made a vow to myself and my family that I would start a new lifestyle of healthy eating and focusing on my weight and health! I want to be there for my son and I need to get healthy that way I KNOW I can be there! If anyone has any helpful tips on how to jump start this diet PLEASE let me know!!!! I started on Jan 3rd and have lost 4 lbs so far!!! It just doesnt seem like much and Im thinking maybe Im doing something wrong! PLEASE HELP ME!

Thanks
Lesley

    Hi Lesley, You've done great to have lost 4lbs in less than 4 weeks! It's better to take it slowly anyway - i've heard it's more likely to stay off. I've only lost a couple of pounds this month, but am still happy with that. Every little counts!
    Feel free to add me as a friend if you need some more motivation!
