in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I'm Steph and I need help, please! I've done a weight loss group with some friends in my area, but it didn't help me much. It was more like we were using the group as a crutch to make ourselves feel like we were doing a good job trying to eat healthy and exercise. I was using myfitnesspal occasionally, but wouldn't track for more than a few weeks.

I need online support from you, if you're available. I can help support you as well. Who knows, we might be a great pair!
It's funny, the advertisement on the top of the page says, "The secret to losing weight is having the right partner".

Here's a little more about me.....I have 3 kids under 6. My youngest is 2 and now is the time for me to take care of myself! I'm married and have been a stay at home mom for the past 4 years. I'm a Christian and church and family are very important to me.

I have about 40 pounds to lose. I have Hashimoto's Thyroiditis. I'm excited to keep up my tracker and incorporate exercise into my crazy busy life. Thanks for reading my post.

It's great to be here! Happy 2012!

    I added you! I'm 28 and have put on way too much weight since becoming an in-home DCP almost five years ago. My youngest is 2.5 and like you said, it's time to focus on myself for a change!!
