My name is Donna and I am trying to bulid myself up to do this. I think I might need support! So here is my sob story. I am 35 years old and a mother of 3 beautiful girls. My oldest is 13 followed by 2 and 1. I was always on the heavier side compared to my little sister who has never in her life weighed over 150. Right now my current weight is at its highest ever 254. I have got to get myself together!!! AHHH!!! I lost my job 2 years ago and was on unemployment for 2 years and while on unemployment gained about 35 pounds (after just having 2 children). So I have got to get motivated to be able to keep up with my girls. If anyone is with me, I need support as much as some of you do. Anybody ever just need to talk just to stop your self from being BORED and snacking send me a message and I will reply.

I'm on day three here on the site. Day 21 of weight loss after the dr. got serious about my lab results. I am down 8 pounds. I have 4 kids, all adults, and wish that I had lost the "baby weight" right away. Now at 260 I literally have half my body weight to lose. I'd like to weigh 130. Be vigilant about your food diary. You can do it in a restaurant if you have a smart phone. Losing weight now while your children are young will teach them that you care about good nutrition and staying healthy. Put lost of healthy food infromt of them now so they can make good choices when they are on their own Good luck Donna! :flowerforyou:
