i'm new here and am trying to shed those "happy" pounds without losing the happy :) my weight gain started right after getting married, and then continued as our babies were born.. since we don't plan on having any more children and our youngest is about to start potty-training.. it's time for mommy to start taking training herself too! to eat healthy and watch those calories, that is!

    Welcome, I'm in the same boat, our youngest is 14 months and were not having anymore kids. I've been with this website since May and LOVE it! It helps tremendously. Happy weight loss :)

    Welcome to the club girlie!!!

    I have "happied" myself all the way up to adding a small child to my butt, waste and hips! LOL You will love it here! So far I have lost one chiwahwah from my butt weight, a small cat from my waistline, and a turtle from my upper arms. I'm hoping to lose the rest soon also!

    However, my loving husband refers to our mutual weight gain since we got married as our OTHER 10 year old. LOL

    Anyway...I got sidetracked...Welcome girlie and good luck logging your calories it is an amazing help!

    Good luck! Now is the time to do it. I laugh when someone tells me I look great for having 3 kids...then I remind them by 'baby' is 21!!!

    I like to think I have lost one sack of potatoes and 2 loaves of bread ( my fav foods)

    Have a great day.
