Hi all, I just started this on Saturday. I need to lose 75 pounds. I was never overweight until I had my first daughter. Not long after that, I became pregnant again, so after the second baby, I had put on some weight. I started trying to lose the baby weight, but things got in the way. To be honest, my husband, after I had the 2 girls, was not very caring or nice towards me. I started eating more and more. I would eat when I was depressed or angry. Well now, with therapy and the new year, I am going to change. I am going to be happy again, and get healthy. 2013 was the worse year of my entire life, so I really want 2014 to be good. :smile:

    You can do it! I started out with 74 pounds to lose, and I'm down to the last 15. And I hear you on the stress/depression/anger eating. I was always overweight, but I gained a lot when I was with my ex, who was neglectful and uncaring. Glad to see you're bettering yourself; good luck!

    Welcome Donna!

    I am 32, mom of 2 young ones and while I am a FL girl, I was born in Worcestor and have family in Mass still. I know it is cold up there now, but when it gets warm I will be so envious if you up in Boston - it is supposed to a great city for walking isn't it? I visited once when I was 17 to see my family and was so excited tor ride the T, see an off-broadway show, walk around Harvard Square...in December!

    Anywho, welcome and good luck in your journey~
