Hello! I read about this site on MSN a week ago and though maybe this is what I need to help motivate me. I thought that just recording my food and exercise would help but now I see I need the encouragement of others too. I have been at it for about 4 days so far. I have not always been over weight. I was very fit for much of my life but after kids I just let myself go. It is way past time to take control back. I am excited to meet others who are trying to change their lives to a healthier one.

    You're very welcome! Everyone has bad days, just remember not to dwell on it and move on. Tomorrow is another day, and you WILL do better. The power of positive thinking goes a long way. :flowerforyou:

    Thank you for the reply. Yes, I agree about how kids change it all. My youngest son told me i need stop eatting so much because I was fat. That hurt but also made me realize he was right. I need to be able to be the mom my kids deserves. So I am more than determined to change that.
    Kepp up the good work...19 pounds..wow!
