Hello Everyone

Abby

Hello to all! I am new here and looking forward to being apart of your community. My story isn't original. I let myself go. I put everyone and everything else before myself. I ate out too much and told myself I was too busy to exercise. As a result I gained way more then I ever thought I would. I have a very over weight mother. I know at 220 pounds it could be worse. I believe that I can bounce back from this, because I know and I've lived with someone who got to the point of giving up. I can't give up. I can't let myself down.

My high is 235. At least that is the high that I know of. I started working two jobs again. Because I'm on my feet so much more, I don't have the time to eat as bad or as often, and I'm actually trying to eat better and exercise more I am down 15 pounds. That isn't enough but it gives me hope.

I'm looking forward to your support and I hope that I in turn repay all of you with the same.

Abby...this is the first step! I have been doing this for 3 weeks along with starting an exercise program and it really helps to hold you accountable!

Keep up the good work! 15 lbs so far is great! For me, it took a few weeks for the weight to start coming off. This site is a great tool, and should help you achieve your goal!

Good Luck!

Abby

Thank you both so much! I'm in a good place to start this new journey and if I'm ever not in a good place my plan is to force it anyway. I'm already checking out the other areas and tools on this site and they are great!!

Abby,

I'm in about the same place as you (weightwise and everything). My mother is also overweight and sometimes overeating is how we bond it seems, so I know how that is.

If you ever need someone to talk to, let me know!

Good luck

Abby

Hey Sunshine! I find that sometimes eating is the only way to bond with my Mother too. I know what you mean.

I would love to chat sometime. We'll have to keep in touch.
