Join me on this site for motivation, support, questions...anything to get us through to our goal weight!

A little about me: I joined a couple months ago and have lost about 18 pounds so far. Ive struggled with weight since I can remember but in the last years of my 20's it became more than just, 10-15 pounds that I needed to shed. I lost a lot of weight in 08 and 09 but then my husband and I decided to have a baby. All was well and I didn't gain much in my pregnancy but once I had my daughter, it slowly went up and up until I reached my biggest number yet. After having my daughter in 09 it's been harder than ever to get in shape but here I am! Almost halfway through and looking for [women] who are on the same journey. Let's do this!

    I need to lose about 34lbs now, lost just under 8lbs since starting about 3 weeks ago.
    I can't exercise due to physical health issues so I'm losing weight strictly by calories counting.
    Congratulations on your half way mark!

    @87sarah - 8lbs is great! Have you seen what 1 pound alone looks like? Keep up the good work! I imagine it must be harder to do without exercise.

    @sarasara82 - having friends really does help. Everyone has different experiences and even though I have a few friends on here still ive learned a thing or two from them that has really helped keep me going. This site is awesome. I dont talk about my weight much outside of here and I don't have a workout partner so this really helps.

    Do you have twitter? Jillian michaels and Jeanette Jenkins tweet inspirational messages that have also helped me get by. And I quote "there's nothing fun about falling on you *kitten*, but it's an essential part of your ascendance, both personally & professionally. As I've said, you will fail. At least I hope so, because it's a foregone conclusion if you're really living, really reaching. Failure is integral because it ultimately teaches you how to succeed. When you learn what you've done wrong, you can take steps in the future to get it right. And the key is overcoming it, using failure as an entry point for learning, a way into wisdom. With the right attitude, you can transform any setback into a guide for growth." -Jillian Michaels

    I've heard that changing workouts can help on a plateau or trying a different workout to challenge your body.
