NEW, Overweight, and LONELY

Haha,
Hi. My name is Jain. I have a one year old son, and I am no where near my per-pregnancy weight. I would love to get back to what I weighed before pregnancy. I felt my prettiest then. I was on track, losing a couple of pounds every two or three weeks, but then I found out my husband was cheating on me. During the divorce, I hardly touched food, and what I did eat, came promptly back up. I lost thirty pounds during all that. I only gained a couple of it back. I now have a boyfriend and am going to college to be a nurse. My life is pretty good, all except for my weight issues. It is not so much that I think I am fat. I don't really. Overweight? Sure, but I still look pretty good. I get hit on all the time, but I can't do the things I used to do without getting out of breath fairly quickly. My son just started walking, and I want to be in better shape to chase him around when it warms up outside.
Okay, I never meant for this to be this long.
I would just like some friends on here to keep me motivated. Feel free to add me or message me or both. :]

    Jain feel free to add me. We have a lot in common. I have a one year old daughter and during my pregnancy I found out the father was cheating on me. I am also going to school to be a nurse.

    Hello,
    I have a 20 month old daughter. When she started to walk and then turned one, it was a wake up call for me. I am down almost 72 pounds. You can do this!
    Feel free to add me as a friend.

    Hey Jain, feel free to add me. I too could use some motivation and it's always better to do things with a support group :)
  • I just joined yesterday and could have written the same topic title. Last year I developed all sorts of health problems and felt about 80 years old. This year I decided for my new years' resolution to turn my life around and get to feeling my true age or younger. I joined yesterday on this site because I stopped losing weight and hoped to meet like minded people.
    Please feel free to get in touch! :smile:
