Hey all!!
I am 31 years old and a mother to three beautiful children; 6, 4, and 3...I also work full time at a Children's Hospital and I am a full time student. With everything that goes on in my day I have made so many bad choices and my health and weight has taken the hit... I am ready to start living for me and my family, providing a healthy foundation for them so that they do not have to go through what I have had to...My physician has started me on a weight loss program and I am hoping to get a handle on all of this:) Looking for motivation and support buddies to help offer tips and encouragement. Something that I hope I can offer for others as well:)

Awesome guys! Thanks so much:) Today I visited my Dr for the Weight Loss work up and starting tomorrow it is ON! lol:) I actually started today by eating a salad for lunch instead of the usual FF. Tomorrow is the "official" Day 1 though:) Can't wait to be looking back on a month and starting to see results!!0

There's motivation right there!
A few things I find helpful.. Fill your diary in each morning (pre-plan each day if you can) as it makes it easier to stick to your eating plan during the day I find.. Or fill it in every night for the following day if it's easier.
Also, if you are going to go for a walk or do some exercise, even if it's for a really short time ect.. Tell your friends that you're going to try and do that exercise by the end of the day... You'll find a lot of people will leave inspirational comments and it helps you follow through with doing whatever the exercise is by the end of the day0 -
Tomorrow is my official start day too (again)! Good luck to you!0
