Hello! My name is Stephanie. I'm a mom to 3, a wife of 17 yrs and a small business owner. I've been up and down on my weight loss journey for what seems like forever. I know all the excuses and use them regularly. I'm not happy in my own body and need to do something about it. I'm looking for some support and some help with this. I've done it on my own too many times and end up sabotaging myself over and over again.

    I definitely know what you mean....I've been using every excuse in the book as to why I can't lose the weight, but I am really pushing this time!!! I'm a very team oriented person and can help motivate people (which in the process motivates me!) Don't hesitate to add me!

    the roller coaster is seriously the worst part. its enough to just make you want to jump off totally.
    i guess thats why i'm here.. hoping for a few more ups than downs and hoping that i dont just give up on the journey totally.

    Anyone reading can add me. I've lost about 30 lbs and am looking for another 60. Trust me, I know all the excuses and I actually started my weight loss during the holidays to prove to myself I could do it. And I kept to myself even here on MFP to get myself into a routine before reaching out to friends. We all need support and I've found quite a bit on this site.
