edited September 2024 in Introduce Yourself
I have been a member of the site for going on two weeks and waited to introduce myself while I got the hang this. I am finally starting to see results even if no dramatic weight loss. I have days were I just want to give up...and days I could work out for hours. I was a chubby kid, slender teenager and then I had kids...BAAM...i ballooned to 297 lbs. My first husband left me ( i think partly due to my weight), andI became an 'emotional eater' and I yo-yo'd for years. So, when I got re-married ( to my younger husband) I decided it was time for me to do what I have been promising myself for years. I WILL GET FIT! Not just loose the weight...so if anybody out there would like to be part of my support group I will be glad to return the favor :happy:

I hope you all have a blessed and wonderful day!

Welcome!
