I am 35 yr old. single mother of an 8 month old baby boy. I seriously need to lose about 40 pounds. I hope that I can find the strength and motivation to do so for my own health as well as for my son. I still look preg. and it is very depressing. I actually had someone ask me when my baby was due the other day!! So that was a huge wake-up for me. Hope to make some friends and find others who share my same concerns. Wish me luck - and God bless.

    Oh, yes, the post-baby tummy and weight gain. It's good that you're taking care of this now because many of us let it slide and that becomes our new shape. Good luck to you!

    welcome jen,

    this is a great place to be and to get started. tracking my food and a friend's motivation has helped me a great deal in losing a few pounds. i've been depressed about my size, could no longer fit my clothes, but i'm finally determined and i'm sure you can and will do and be the same.

    Welcome! I have 2 boys ... 3 1/2 and 21 months, I've fought my weight all my life but I've had several wake up calls in the last couple years, the latest was my Mom struggling with borderline diabetes. I don't want to go there so I'm on a war path to lose weight so I don't have that battle later in life. So, we're all here for all kinds of reasons but with a common goal. I wish you luck and you're welcome to friend me for support if you'd like.
