Let me first give you some details about myself, reading through some topics I feel as if I am among friends even though I have not met any one on here yet. My name is Jessica. I am 24 years old with 2 beautiful daughters. I have been married for 6 1/2 years and with my husband for almost 9 years. I have always been overweight for as long as I can remember. I was bullied as a child and teenager because of it. I am currently 202lbs but this is not my heaviest. My heaviest was 225 while I was pregnant with my youngest daughter (2). I am 5'3 as well. I became ill during pregnancy causing me to lose instead of gain. By the end of the pregnancy I was 184, but not healthy. Both of my children were born by cesarean section due to complications. I am a stay at home mother currently. My goal right now is to lose 40lbs., tone my body from the excess skin from having a cesarean. One of my baby sisters is getting married in June and hopefully I can lose about 15 -20lbs by then. I am glad I found this site and the mobile app to ease things along. I use the Wii fit for 99% of my exercise as well.

Welcome to the site, Jessica! I know what you mean when you say you want to tone that hang over from the cesarean section. I had all four of my children the natural way, But later with my overies being embedded in no-malignant tumors, I had to have a complete historectomy and they cut me the same as for cesarean...I have that hang over mess too. I am so glad it is shapping up a bit now, still a ways to go tho. I think the really fast stepping in place, (can't remember what they call that move) has helped a lot. I know I can feel that flab shaking like heck when I do that move. Anyways that and the ab work are helping, I was 236 when I started and now I am196! I am so happy to be in the onederland as they call it here. We can do this! Good luck, and I know one thing, if you do the logging in of food and exercise here, it will help you form new healthier habits. See you in the community.

Welcome! you've come to the right place

i havent had any kids, but i perpetually look 3-4 months prego bc i carry my extra poundage in my belly/muffintop region and have naturally ginormous bosoms. sometimes good, sometimes a PITA. My goal was 40 lbs too, its been about 5-6 weeks and im 15 lbs down, give or take.


Just remember that healthy weight loss is slow, everything in moderation, and there will be good days and bad days. Feel free to friend me
