Good evening (well early morning) Everyone,
My name is Kirstyn. I am a 22 year old single mother of one. I am here to track my weight loss progress, and for support. I have tried losing my post pregnancy weight many times before, but I have a hard time sticking with exercise plans and diets. I plan on beginning my journey on Dec. 26th. Reason being, I know I will indulge tomorrow considering I have 4 Christmases (sp?) to attend. I have also had a difficult time losing weight due to depression. Unfortunately, I was diagnosed with depression while I was pregnant. Overcoming my depression hasn't been a walk in the park either. I have had to switch my medications multiple times due to side effects, lack of improvement, and allergic reactions. So here I am, hoping that I will be able to make a change this time. I plan to use this website as a way to express my frustrations, challenges, goals, and accomplishments as well. I look forward to meeting new people, and finding support from new friends. :happy: Wish me luck on my journey to a healthy and happy weight! I hope you all enjoy your holiday!
With love,
Kirstyn
