    Well I'm totally new. I have NEVER been on a diet or exercised. I used to take it for granite how good I looked. Yeah I am so good with keeping myself look good no matter how fat I am but this is out of control. I went to the doctors last week and I knew I probably gained a couple pounds in the past few months but when he told me I gained 25 in the past few months I was speachless and felt so gross. I was like that is it. I have hit rock bottom. I used to be SO hot and now I can still wear my clothes to hide the bad and accentuate the good, I m very good at that. Get complimented and people even say wow you lose weight and inside Im like if you only knew! Meanwhile I have to lose at least 80 pounds! This is insane. How do I suddenly figure out what to eat. I work so many hours and have to think about my kids to. I have long commute too and rush through the door to make dinner. I dont know how I am going to do this! So frustrated and hoping I can do it :(

    I started mfp a while ago, but have not posted on the message boards a lot I am in need of some motivation today. I did a LONG hard work out today... and I'm feelin discouraged again... I started in January at 302 and am at 274 today. I was at 257 the firs week of March, then, decided one day that I would quit smoking. Which I have, I'm 6weeks out, but I went on a chocolate fiend for a while... and didn't really gain anything, but I just stopped loosing. I also got diagnosed with PCOS and as put on new meds, but still held on to 275 and today I finally broke the 274 mark, but I am still discouraged that I don't feel like I look any different. I was in a 24 when I started an now I'm in an 18 (and finally it the GAP size 18) pants I bought on clearance, but I'm still looking at myself in the mirror and I see no change... I have little motivation today...
    I am full time college student, and full time mother. My son is a Type ONE diabetic and avid soccer player. He plays indoor, rec, and select soccer, which means LOTS of running around and games and practices all year long.... My HUBS works full time, and is working out with me he has lost 22 lbs Since Jan 1 2013.
    I know that this post got rather long, but I think it works as an introduction to me.

    Oh I'm also an artist so I do spend some time in my studio... I'm working on rather large painting right now, and I have two little ones.... and I'm painting some Silk for a dress I'm making.

    I could use some friends on here too... I your interested send me request.
