in Introduce Yourself
I am a 31 year old single mother of two from Jacksonville, Florida. Like most people, I am trying to start my weight loss journey again. I have struggled with weight loss since my last son was born almost 9 years ago. I am trying to lose about 40lbs and would love to have some support and looking for that through these forums and groups. Wishing great success to all! :happy:

    Hi, feel free to add me. I am also here to lose 40 pounds. I have tried all kinds of "diets" but WW worked the best for me. Honestly this is better because it's free and the people are really encouraging. I started last week and so far so good.
    Good luck on your journey :)

    You both can add me too. I want to lose 40lbs...that seems to be our magic number. I would love to lose it by April 1 (Spring Break). But with at soon to be 3 year old some things are hard. I am willing to give it a shot I just need some support and a push everynow and again.

    I'm in the 40lb club too! I've tried other diets and get around 20lbs down before I give up and end up gaining it all back. I like this too because it's free!

    Hey ladies I am entering my 40s and am already finding the struggles. In any case, I found the accountability and support has helped me along the way. I created a private group on Facebook for just that. If any of you are interested. Send me a friend request Kristi Shane Holmes or www.facebook.com/kristijean3 and I can add you.
