Hi all.
I'm happy to be here, and hoping that I can find some friends that I can exchange some motivation with!
A little bit about me:
I am 31 years old, and have about 30 pounds to lose to get to my goal weight. The last several years have been very difficult for my husband and I, and I as some of you have maybe felt before, ice cream and pizza seemed to make everything better.
I gained over 25 pounds, and at 5'6" I recently hit my highest ever weight of 155 and a wearing between size 10-12.
Unfortunately, one of the many things that has been an issue is that we have been struggling with infertility for over a year and a half. The stress and depression that has come with it has run in a vicious cycle with my weight gain and need to comfort myself with food. I am at a point now where I am at peace with things and am seeing this as an opportunity to get my confidence back. My goal is to lose at least 20 pounds by October, but I know that will be a huge challenge. If anyone is willing to offer advice, encouagement, and a little tough love, I would love to return the favor.
Best of luck to all of you on your journey!
