Okay so I am new to this, so bare with me.

I have had problems with my weight off and on since I was little. I had gotten down to a healthy weight all through high school. When I got pregnant with my first child for some reason there was nothing I could do to keep a healthy weight. After my first most of the weight just stuck with me. Then I had my second not long after the first, 16 months apart:frown: . I have tried since my youngest was born to lose weight, to get healthy, to do the right thing. When I was working 2 jobs non-stop it was easy to lose 40lbs. When it became evident that I couldn't work 2 jobs, about a year ago, I gained all of it back and then some. I have tried diet pills, harsh diets, starving myself and God only knows what else. I am trying hard to get back into better health and shape. I need to do it for me and for my family. Mostly I want to be me without weighing 2 of me. I want to enjoy everything I do without the pain in my back, knees, and hips. That sounds kind of odd coming from me, because I am only 23. I started this site about 2 weeks ago. I tried weight watchers before doing this, and it's great don't get me wrong. I just don't have time to meassure out everything I eat, count calories by hand, or keep up with my points with 2 kids, a full time job, a house to run, and a life to live. It's just not something I can juggle. This is easy for me. I am at a computer most of the day anyway, so just logging in foods that I have eaten and having the calculations done for me is AWESOME!!!! Okay, I am starting to babble a little now. But I do hope that in time, the right way, I will reach my healthy and goal weight!

Good luck to you. Losing weight is hard work, but this is a good place to start. My recommendation is to just be honest with yourself when logging calories. And give your self breaks occationally and indulge. Find an exercise program that works for you and stick with it. When I had 2 little ones, mine were 18 mo apart, I would throw them in the stroller and roller blade behind them. If you do that though make sure you have no hills and a low traffic area.
