in Introduce Yourself
Hi! I just found this site earlier this week and am very happy to have come accross it! Last time I weighed myself I was 285lbs. I'm 5'2", I would like to get down to 150lbs, so definately have a ways to go. Would love to connect with people with similar stats and get a support system together.

    I am 42 year old mum to two girls under 6.
    I've been here for almost two years. Not fastest weight loss. But I haven't gained it back either.
    I'm 5" 4' currently 188ish. First mini goal 175. Second major goal 145-150.
    If I ever get there I plan to make minor adjustments to find my comfortable spot from there.

    I am 53 and need the help and support of all. I had heart surgery as my arteries were clogged. I was lucky I did not have a heart attack but was just told my my surgeon if I don't take the wieght off he gives me 2 years to live. Well holy cow pretty scary. I choose to live so losing weight will be my 1st goal then get more active as I lose the weight. I would love to share my journey with you all and get help along the way and hope I can be of help to anyone out there as well. I am 5' 31/2" and weigh 207.5. Can't belive I am putting this out there for all to see. In my picture that is me and my grandaughter making snow angels. I needed help getting up my goal is to make snow angels next year as well and be able to pop up to look down at my angel. lol

    Here we go, on the journey of weight loss and fitness.

    Hi and welcome! I am a 39.5 year old mom to some crazy kids and their schedules. I also have over 100 to lose. One day at a time :) Feel free to add me as well (anyone can)... I had lost 56 pounds and had surgery and regained 26 of those pounds back, and am working those off before I start the next 50 pounds... Celebrate each pound you lose and set mini goals for yourself...
