Hi, I am brand new here. I really hope this site helps me to stay focused on my weight loss goals and journey. I am 25, work part time and go to school full time to become a nurse. I have four children ages 5 to 2, so to say that focusing on myself has gone out the window is an understatement. I have realized though that if I want to be around and live a happy and healthy life I need to start focusing on my weight now. I am currently 210 lbs and am 5 foot 2 inches. I wear a size 16- 18 and am very unhappy with my appearance and weight. I also feel sluggish and tired all the time. This is a new beginning for me. I am going to take it one day at a time. Just pulled my bike out of the shed and plan to start using it.

    I just joined the sight too. I wish you luck and hope I can do it too! I lost 60# a couple years ago with weight watchers and have gained it all back. I don't really want to go through the whole meetings and weighing in again. So I'm hoping this works! I feel the same way you do. I can't stand how lazy and sluggish I feel!
