in Introduce Yourself
I just joined a few minutes ago. I am a Single Mom of a beautiful almost 5 year old girl. I work 12 hours a day. Losing weight means a lot to me and I am finally going to do it. There are so many reasons but the main one is to continue to be around for my daughter. My Mother had a mild heart attack almost 2 months ago and it made me realize that if I didn't stop doing what I am doing I was going to end up having a heart attack as well. That is no way to live at the age of 27. Yes I am 27 years old. I was thin my whole life. Never had to worry about losing weight. I had my daughter and thats where all the weight gain came. My daughter was 12 pounds when she was born, 23 inches long and 10 days early. But she is almost 5 years old so I can't use the pregnancy as an excuse anymore. I was in a bad relationship which caused me to eat more and feel like I was not worthy of anything. But that has all changed now and I am ready. Working out is easy for me. It's the eating healthy part that will be hard. I would love to have the positive people from this site to help me along my journey. So if anyone is willing to be my internet buddy and help me through this then I'd love to welcome you! :bigsmile:

    Support is always great! It's easier to do when you know you aren't alone! I'll send you a request. I have a 7 year old and an 18 month old and I know how long that pregnancy weight can stick around!

    It's amazing how much support you can get from a website. I am amazed and so thankful at the same time. I start my new diet and work out on Monday since I won't have the money to do it until then. How do you girls do it when you have kids who eat what they want? I mean. My daughter is not on a diet so it's not fair she has to join with me. Mac n cheese YUM! lol. This will be a challenge. So you cook your meals seperately? How does that work?
