    well we are sort of near each other. i was 199 after I gave birth 2 years ago and I am trying to get off 15 more pesky pounds that have been lingering around 10 years or so. :laugh: this site is awesome and the people are so encouraging. yesterday i had a bad diet and personal day and there were my friends, encouraging and being there for me. i am 33, married, stay at home mom except for the weekends, and i want to get down to around 150. go ahead and friend me. good luck.

    I completely understand. I'm a stay at home mom and although my kids are older, what doesn't change is putting off doing things for yourself so that you can do things for your kids!
    This is a great site and you can learn so many things from everyone on here. I was 140 when I started and my ULTIMATE GOAL (which I never truly thought attainable) was 120. It has taken me 9 months and I am one pound away from that unattainable goal! You just have to remind yourself everyday why you are doing this. Remember it's a lifestyle change, not a diet!

    Hi. I've got 65lbs still to go. I am also a mother of 2, I work, and I am almost finished with my nursing degree. We can motivate each other! :happy:

    I sent you a request. We're pretty similar. I'm a divorced, working mom of 2, and a Girl Scout leader to 11. Time to work out and cook healthy foods are easily my biggest challenges. I've done fairly good the last 3 weeks and have dropped 11 pounds. I started at 198 and am now at 187. I'm 5' 4" and am on my way to 140.

    Welcome! And good luck!

    I am new to this, I weigh around the same as you do, I am tired of being this heavy, never been this heavy in my life. I would love to weigh around the same as what i was when i met my hubby which is around 120. but i would be happy just to get in under 150. message me, or add me as a friend, maybe we can do this together and inspire each other to keep going. Good luck with your goal, cause I know I will need all the luck I can get.
