Hi my name is darla, i'am the new freshmeat. I joined to lose sixty pounds by next year before i hit 30 years old!! I had twin boys almost 8 years ago and never got rid of the baby fat. I have no more excuses i have been lazy careless about the choices i make. Know what i need to do and need to get it done! Two years ago i attempted to diet. I ate a diet of mostly just fruit and veggies and within two months lost 30 pounds. But as soon as i started eating regular foods again i gained back 15 pounds. I have not been able to lose since. So i know i need to change something, get more active, and learn to portion control. I will get it done i have a stuborn nature about me!! Lol know getting rid of my dr peppers...thats i diffrent story!! hahaha thats my worst addiction ever!! thanx for reading looking to make some friends for inspiration!!

    Good luck and you can do it!!! I have lost 55 pounds since last year ( took a few breaks here and there). Just remember to put out more than you take it and keep it healthy.

    Hey you can do it! I kind of have the same story except 7 years a go i was 65lbs heavier from having my son and within two years i did lose weight. i dropped 80lbs! I joined this site this year because i have been slowly creeping back up and i gained 29lbs and decided to do something before my weight took over my life again.

    This site is great and the people are amazing. God luck!

    Good luck! I would love to be your friend. I am 33 with an almost four year old and a 15 month old. I also run a daycare in my home which consists of a 6 month old and 2 month old. I am working on losing about 35 pounds and not having much luck, however, I have had success in losing inches lately so i know I am getting there.
