I'm new here and wanted to stop in and say hello :) I am a Mom of 4 boys, and a military wife and now a military mom as well, full time college student and well... fat. I am 5'4', and 240 and i HATE it! Its all in my butt and hips etc... it seems no matter what i do it doesn't go away! I'm trying here before i take the leap to Jenny Craig etc..... I have high stress, take meds that don't help my cause and my mother is morbidly obese! I do not want to end up that way, so i need to do it now.

My husband thinks about losing weight and drops like 10 lbs in a week.... jerk! ( kidding.... sorta )

Anyway, nice to meet you all!!!

Jenn

    I agree with BeeBee ~ I haven't done Jenny but I did Nutrisystem -- I've had way more success just by logging in here every day and being honest about my food. This is a great site with wonderful tools and amazing support from the friends you'll make. Best wishes! xo

    P.S. My hubby's the same way when he decides to lose weight. PUNK! :laugh:

    hello, this site is great, everyone always give you support, we all know that you can do it. the best thing to get you started is to start walking, you may can only go alitlle at a time but build it up a little more each day. i have lost 20 pounds so far have been here a month. nothing is easy, but if you stick to your goal you can achieve it, it takes time. the weight didnt get there overnight and its not going away overnight, but you can lose it, just have to have will power, and we are behind you every step of the way. so get up and get to it.
