I am new and looking for support

lokizmo

Hi Everyone!

I am new to the boards here. I am just looking for some more support in the weight loss journey. I have ALOT of weight that I need to lose and while I am exercising and changing my eating habits, I find it hard to do when I'm the only one in my house doing so. My husband is also "trying" this with me.

I want to lose weight because I have 2 beautiful little girls that need me in their lives. And where it stands now, I know that if I continue the way I am, my weight will inhibit me from being an active part of that.. And I am trying very hard to not let that happen.

Thank you!
I look forward to this journey.

You have come to the right place. You need to make sure you stick with this. Post every meal. If you go ove once in a while no big deal. Make yourself post every day and do not give up. This works. I have lost 14 lbs since November. My son has lost almostr 50 ! This site is the best ! Good luck !

It is nice that your husband is "trying" this with you, but from personal experience I can ony say, this is something you can only do for yourself. Use this site for support and motivation, but don't depend on family to help you. Make the changes you need to make for you not for anyone else. Add me as a friend if you want to.

I completely understand how you're feeling. I also have two beautiful daughters that i am doin this for and i am the only one in the house that is attempting this. Its super hard when you have temptation all around you. My husband and oldest daughter constantly wanna eat pizza, among other "unhealthy" foods and i feel like i'm sitting next to them eating like a rabbit with my salad. I could use some extra support also, so feel free to add me as a friend!

You are in the right place. This is a great site and so many people who give encouraging stories. Just stick to it because my sons are one of the main reasons I am getting fit. Our children are worth it. My login name jamesjeremiah are the names of my sons. It reminds me everyday I log in why I must continue to do better. I have been on myfitness pal 20 days and have lost 5 lbs so it is possible you CAN DO IT!
