Guess I should say Hi!

BetterVersion · August 2008

Hi everyone. I'm new here and just checking everything out. This site seems to be really well put together. I hope to find some new "friends" here to share our journeys.

I am 24 and have a 20 month old son. I am currently 80-100 pounds over weight, but am only looking to lose about 50 pounds total. My first goal, though, is twenty five pounds. It seems easy enough when you start, but day after day of counting calories, focusing on weight loss and increasing exercise, and denying yourself every little thing tends to take a toll on you, so that's why I'm here looking for support. I figure having a support group during the bad times may keep my motivation up just enough to keep me on track- or at least not completely give up on my goals.

I look forward to getting to know you all! Thanks for reading.

Welcome momma,

Believe it or not, it get's easier the more you do it. Also with the support on here, you know you're never alone. And don't think you need to deny yourself everything, that's not how it has to go. Reasonable choices, good overall nutrition, and an exercise routine that you can stick to will go a long way for you.

best luck to you.
