Hi everyone. I am a mother of 3 and have struggled with my weight for as long as I can remember. Before my 3rd I was really looking and feeling great, but then gained a lot during my 3rd pregnancy. It is now 1 1/2 years after my 3rd was born and I am having more trouble than ever losing the weight....I am now 39. I work out at least 4 times a week - excercise is not my problem. It's the eating/binging. I cook healthy for my family and I binge for myself and have big portions. I am hear to look for support and help from all of you to get me going. I have a total of 45 lbs to lose, but wold be happy enough losing 30. I have done this before, so I know I can do it. I am just having trouble getting started and lasting past 2 weeks. I am always hungry!!!!! Thanks for listening!!!:cry:

    I start with a pound at a time. I figure each pound lost is one pound not gained. You can do this......I had the same thing ,......i always exercise.................but my eating was bad. With this site I KNOW you can do it. Just watch what you eat.

    I too exercise everyday. But have hit a wall with the weight loss. I finally found this site and realized what is wrong, my diet. Even though I eat fairly healthy, I wasn't taking in enough calories for a day. And I too would binge in the wrong foods. Since I came to this site, I have actually started being truely honest with myself. I have lost 3 pounds this week. And am aiming for many more. Best of luck with you. If you want a MFP friend you can always add me.
