...to help me make this attempt at weight loss a success. I have always had my weight go up and down. As a teenager I was always athletic and in great shape. I bounced back to my pre-pregnancy weight when my daughter was born but after my son 19 years ago my weight has gone up and down.

I lost a good deal of weight last year but have recently gained about 25 pounds back. I am just looking to get support from a great community of people who are in this with me together. :smile:

    I'm on the same weight yo-yo game. Gained 60lbs with my son, lost almost all of it, got pregnant again, lost the baby and my sanity for a while, got depressed and plump. Feel free to add me if you'd like.

  • Anyone wishing to add me please do, I have always had problems with my weight now I'm trying to take control and sometimes motivation can be difficult when you're going it alone so I need as many people on board as possible

    Feel free to Add me

    I've been here for a couple years. I've gone from working out one day a week to loving working out 5 days a week and not liking it when I don't!

    I'm pushing to be in the best shape of my life

    Here's to us aging gracefully and being here for grandkids!
    Ok - I have to raise my kids first.

    Feel free to add me too!
    I'm 27 and I'm trying to get back to my normal weight before my 28th birthday in september.
    I gained about 45lbs in a year due to several family deaths and some other relationship issues.
    I was terrified because I'd never weighed that much in my life. I don't even know how to dress this body, but I decided that I love myself. I can't keep giving to others until there's nothing left of me.

    I've been working on dropping the pounds since Feb 1st and I'm down 20lbs. 25lbs to go :D

    We can do it if we just support one another. :)
