Hi everyone, this is my first time on this site/board. What a wonderful find! I am so happy to have the motivation and support of others. This journey is not easy for any of us!

I have close to 60 pounds I want to lose. I hadn't stepped on a scale in awhile and so when I got on New Years Day when I was beginning my diet, I was shocked to learn that I weighed about 10 pounds more than I had thought.

I never struggled too much with my weight up until 3.5 years ago when I was pregnant with my son and it just did not come off after giving birth to him. I never thought I would have this much weight to lose at once. I'm ashamed of myself, but I understand that it is from not exercising much and not watching what I ate. I pretty much just ate whatever I wanted..... So..... And I've always been horrible about not eating all day ( I never feel hungry in the morning) and then eating until I am stuffed at dinner. And eating a late dessert while sitting in bed watching a movie. That is so terrible. So that is how an extra 60 pounds came to be!

I can do it, I know we all can do it. I feel lucky to have stumbled upon this wonderful group of supporters and the before and after photos I've seen of you all are remarkable and a complete inspiration!!!!!!!!!!!

I look forward to meeting you, supporting you and getting your support in return!

Have a fabulous night everybody!
