HELP!!! I can't do this alone.. I have tried several times to lose weight on my own... Thinking just don't put it in my mouth.. Ya right.. that is sooo hard!!! If I can hear others are doing well - then it will motivate me to do good too... I am a 33 year old mother of 2 ( 5 and 2 years old) who take up all my time.. oh ya and my husband who I swear sabotages my diet all the time..! I am motivated and am determined to take control of my weight, my life and my attitude towards my body,..! I am 5'2" and and weigh 172 pounds..!!! Yuck!!! I am going to lose the weight and do it this year!!! My goal is by summer time to at least be down to 140's... I know I'm dreaming!!! It's just out of control now.. and the weight builds up and builds up... especially when I say screw it and binge!!!
HELP!!!

    Your stats are alot like mine :) You can do this!!! Im going the hcg route but thats not for everyone. Im 33 mom to a 4 year old and a 2 year old with a husband who it trying to gain weight! :) If you set your mind to it and watch what you eat. ( the little bites of the kids food to test temp while you're making meals really adds up lol) I noticed all of the little things I was eating in a day after I stopped eating them. Good luck :) you are more than welcome to add me as a friend if you would like. My weight loss plan may be different than yours but I can always provide moral support :)

    YOU CAN DO THIS!! I know that you are pulled in a million directions with a husband and two small children because I have been there. I have three but the baby is now 16. My husband would often sabotage me but after many years of "TALKING" it out, he is somewhat supportive. MAYBE I have just become more determined. We are all here for you! Sending friend request......

    I hear your pain. I'm 5'7" and over 200 lbs. Never ever thought I'd be over 200 lbs and I won't be for long :) Using this app has already helped me so much. I love it.

    no you are not dreaming to be 140 by this summer. you can do it. it is possible! you are going to have to work at it but once you drop your first jean size, notice your weight loss in a funny place (like your feet, say hello to those little bones you can now see) you will want to finish your goal!
