No mojo, but need to lose weight

Linsey1973

Hi there

I am a newbie. I am married with two kids. When I met my OH in 1996 I was 3 stone less than I am now. I had my first child about 10 years ago and was over two stone lighter. Clearly my body went to pot after getting married and having two kids LOL!

I know I need to lose weight but losing my mojo to do so. Aiming to eat better and exercise more!

Hey, I put on about 5 kilos (11lbs) after my wedding and the first year of marriage. That's when I decided enough was enough and I got on this journey. However its taken me till now to realise that I AM DANG HOT, my hubbie is very supportive and has always found me attractive. But I've felt ugly and unattractive, I felt like if I wasn't my perfect weight I couldn't be attractive, we were on vacation and only now coming home do I realise that even though I still need to lose I am attractive. I lost my firepower, but I feel like I found it again, and I've got a whole lot of rocket fuel pushing me on towards my goal! Welcome by the way, your mojo isn't lost, its just hiding behind all the negative stuff. You're on a journey to a new, healthier you, remember and give yourself some credit.. You Are Spectacular!

Remove the temptation, keep healthy foods in the house, but dont deprive yourself! Kids drain all your energy but a lifestyle change with healthy foods and eventually a lower weight will give you alot more energy

Thank you. This is a great website, hopefully it will help me with food - fat, calories etc.

Welcome! I recently started loosing weight, my whole life has been a roller coaster. In the past 16 years at 5'2" the lowest I have been is 140, my highest was recently at 172. I changed the birth control pill I was on, started walking, but not really watching what I ate. I went down to 163, my friend told me about this and I started using it, and even have my fiancee being more self consciess about what he eats. I'd like to see myself at 120, I think I was in middle school when I weighed 120!
My fiancee says he can notice a difference, and of course I'm asking him everyday, does this look smaller, is this firmer. Must be a girl thing. The picture I have posted, I'm guessing I'm at about 165 in it, it was taken July 23. Good luck, if you need a friend send me a message.
