My name is Eileen and before I had kids I was 135 and a size 4. 2 kids later and I am 180 and still look like i am 4 months pregnant. I have a major problem with late night snacking and I do not exercise at all. I am going to try slimfast and start working out whenever I can. I am a first grade teacher and leave the house at 6:15 am and then get home to my 3 yr old and 1 yr old. I know these are all excuses and I have been using them for way to long now. I HAVE to make a change! I saw a picture of me with my son today and could not believe how big I looked. I put the picture in the middle of the mirror for motivation.
I am looking forward to meeting all of you!

Your weight story is very similar to mine. I think I was 135 for 10 years. The good old days - pre kids. But I have a goal. Started 6 days ago. I find friends help keep me accountable. Adding you!0

Everyone loves junk food, it's yummy. But it's terrible for you. I still love junk food, I just don't eat it anymore. I finally made it to a place where I can make better choices for foods and achieve what I want. it is hard, but so worth it. I still have about 60 more pounds I want to lose, but I'm off to a great start. You can do it too, you just need determination. If you can get support at home that is always a big help.0 -
Hello! I'm Emily, 29 years old, no kids and I'm about 40 lbs over weight.. I started at 335, got down to 155 and over the last 2 years gained 40 lbs. So.. I'm trying to come back from a relapse. I'm here for support and motivation. I need it too!0

Thanks so much ladies
I will do slim fast for 2 weeks and hopefully lose some weight to get the motivation to stick with a healthy lifestyle. I am no longer snacking at night...so hopefully that will help!
