Hi everyone! I need some friends on here for support and help! I lost 24 lbs a yr ago and gained almost all of it back within the year!
:( I started back up this past week and have lost 6 since just from exercise and changing my eating habits. I have struggled with my weight for 8 yrs since having my first child. I have to be honest though I never really tried to stick to a change until this past yr . I am finally ready to stick to it again and hopefully never let myself gain it back again. I pretty much just play Dance Central and walk. I like to do things I can enjoy but plan to do harder workouts when I get more in shape. My goal is to lose 25 more lbs by Summer and feel healthier, have more energy and be slimmer. Feel free to add me! I like reading success stories on here, it motivates me! =)

    I have a very similar goal at this point. I want to try to reach my goal weight by this summer :)
    Losing weight helps me feel and look so much better, can't wait for kickin' it in the sun on vacation and such!

    Thanks guys! I am so tired of having no energy and being sleepy lately and that's what made me decide I have to change NOW! Tabby congrats on losing 39 lbs already! That's great! Can't wait for Summer! It's snowing and cold here today!

    I started 10 days ago and have lost 3 lbs. that's good for me. I've been struggling since and babies too. This time I'm ready to just be healthy and do it right. I hate being tired all the time. I am also starting out slow on the workouts but hope to get tougher and tougher workouts like I used to be able to do.

    3 lbs is great Lindsey! Yes I am struggling just to make it through an hour of Dance Central 3! I just got it the other day and it is a lot harder than 2 so maybe that's why! Haha :) I am looking forward to more energy again too!

    I'd love to help too! I am in the middle of my journey and have about 12 more to go! This website has helped me tons! It really works! I got motivated to finally lose the weight I had gained with my now 15 month old! It is much harder losing now that I'm 35! When I was 23 with my first baby, it magically melted away! I find speed walking really helps me mentally, and physically shed the weight! It isn't too strenuous so I will do it, and it gets the heart rate up!

    Thanks Shirley for the add! I just made my new account on here a few weeks ago. I was mad at myself for gaining 20 lbs back so I wanted to start over with my goals and all! =) This is a great site!!
