Hey everyone,
I'm really excited to be here to meet new people and learn from everyone. Please feel free to add me as a friend.

My weight gain started 5 years ago when my mom was diagnosed with cancer. We found out in april and by June she was gone. I lived in the hospital during that time and didn't care about what I was eating. I gained 15 lbs and for me that is alot since I'm only 5 feet tall. My wedding was the next month. Then a year later I found out I was pregnant and the weight pilled on. My daughter was only 7 months old when I found out I was pregnant again and I hadn't lost any of the weight from the first time yet.

So Sept 2010 I started exercising and eating well and I had lost almost 30lbs by the end of Nov. I stopped working out and figured I would start back up after christmas. Well here I am, it's almost June and I haven't started yet. My weight is going back up slightly as well. So after 7 months off it's time to get my butt back in gear and loose the rest of this weight.

:)

    Hello Everyone!
    I;m so excited about this online tool. My co-worker told me about it. I have been on a diet for about a month and have lost 12 pounds. Just when i was getting discouraged she showed this to me. It gave me what i needed to keep going. I have about 80 more pounds to loose. I'm 41 and started gaining wait when I was about 24 after I quit smoking and obtained a sit down job. I love food and love cooking and so does the rest of my family so every get together is about food. I have tried several times to lose weight but always give up. it's really a mind over matter thing just like quiting to smoke. I fee good about it this go around and have the support of my husband. I am looking so forward to talking to others with the same goals and sharing successes,
