Hi there, I am a 30 year old mother of 2, I have been married for 7 years. I signed up just last week and I love this website, I think it will help me keep on track to lose this un wanted baby weight that I want to lose. I have been trying off and on for the past 4 years and now is my time to lose the weight. I have about 40 lbs to lose and I would like to make some friends on here in the same situation so you can help motivate me and I can do the same for you. thanks and looking forward to getting to know you.

    Hello - I joined about 2 weeks ago and you are definitely on the right track by coming to this site. Making friends, logging your process and reading what others are experiencing is so helpful. I have twin girls (3 years old) and being vertically challenged at 5'1" I need to loose more weight to be healthy. I hope you keep it up and whenever you feel like eating something you shouldn't just come in here and write and chew a sugar free gum instead :) (smile) Good luck on your journey.
  • Welcome! You will find a lot of encouragement here. I have A LOT of weight to lose but am finally serious about it and have done good so far. Before joining I had already lost 5 pounds and since joining here I've lost 6. I've had to learn that the number isn't all I should go by so I've started measuring myself (good suggestion) and have really seen a difference! Good luck to you and I would love to add you as a friend.
