in Introduce Yourself
Lookin for people who are regulars on here. I mostly just wanna feel good about myself again. I have a 3 year old son. I gained 60 pounds when I was pregnant with him, but I lost all except 20 pounds. I was having some very bad relationship problems, got very depressed and packed all the weight back on, plus some. Don't worry, I'm not interested in putting all my personal life out there, but I'm very real about my weight.

My inner life and relationship is doing much better, but my weight is still out of control. Even if I'm not depressed, my weight upsets me. I'm currently over 260 pounds and I'm sick of it. I found Zumba. I like it a lot. I used to like to run too and I'm kind of getting back into that, but its making me realize just how terribly out of shape I am.

I guess I'm just looking for good people to just encourage each other. Doesn't hurt to have friends in the same boat as long as we're trying to go the same direction. ;)

I'm definitely ready to feel better about myself and get healthier. Drop me a line.

    Ditto...I really would like to have friends on here as well. I gained throughout my pregnancies and didn't bother to take it off. It's definitely time...getting tired of looking at myself in the mirror. Feel free to add me!!!

    I've been here a while. Lost some weight, got off track and gained it back, and now I'm basically starting all over again. I'm here every day and always looking for supportive friends. Feel free to add me :-)
