Hi, I am here and have been struggling with my weight for around 4-5 years now. I am really unhappy with my size and just continue to eat. I am in school full time and just moved and I have 2 young kids. It is extremely hard for me to get motivated to go exercise because I am so exhausted from my obligations I already have. I however, am a Nursing student and see everyday what happens when one is overweight and I don't want that to happen to me. I am here because I saw the website on a magazine that was accidentally put in my mailbox. I think that God ment it to go in my box by accident because I needed to read it. I am so happy that I can get a support group that doesn't charge because frankly I am more than broke and can't afford any help. I also have an exercise room in our new apartments so I don't have to pay for that either. I am already trying to change my eating/drinking coke habits slowly but I am doing better! I want to graduate nursing school and be happy with myself as a whole not just accomplishing school. I am so excieted that this website can calculate everything for me because I am too lazy to figure this calorie stuff on my own! Thank you for reading my long insert and I am happy to be apart of this group!

    welcome! It sounds like you really want to do this, which is actually the first step. I started this website a while ago, then started back up for good about a month ago. My husband has also joined and that really helps me stay on track. I will be here for any questions you may have, I'm not a nutritionist or anything, but I have a good grip on what I should and should not be eating. I'm also striving and training for a 5k that is in May, so I'm trying to get my cardio built up for that. add me as a friend if you want to.
