in Introduce Yourself
Hey everyone, my name is Stephanie. I had my son 4 years ago and I can't seem to drop the weight. 4 years is a long time and I should have lost the weight a long time ago. About 2 years ago I lost about 40 pounds and then I gained every bit of it back and then some. I have been trying my hardest to lose this weight but it's really difficult. I need people to motivate me and encourage me. I feel like I can find that here. :smile: I really need to change my life. I'm only 19. I need to do this not only for me, but for my son so he can grow up healthy.

    Welcome. If you like, you can add me, and it would be great if you open up your diary (at least to friends) because it helps a lot.

    Good for you on taking the first step! You can add me if you would like. I've found that this site really has a high amount of females and I don't really have any friends that are using this. So anyone who reads this I would love for you to add me as a friend for some support. It's tough doing this on your own and it's been so many years since I've felt good about my appearance.

    Welcome aboard! It's not easy to be such a young mom and I applaud you for wanting to take care of yourself for you and for your childs sake. Just remember that success comes when we take small steps one day at a time. I've raised 4 children and have been at every range on the scale. At 47 I am looking at a soon to be empty nest and I'm ready to get healthy and live life to the fullest! YOU can do this!!!

    Yes, its nice to have others that can relate to your stories and issues. You can do it girl! I know with kids it can be distracting, you want to focus more on them than yourself!! You can definitely get support here!
