I have started and stopped so many times on my journey to health. I have been successful a few times in the last 16 years since my first child was born , only to bring on the pounds with a vengeance! (Classic yo-yo, anyone?)
I don't have a circle of friends that I can share this journey with as they are all lovely enabler's (You look fantastic! You don't need to lose weight!) who don't even know my weight or BMI, and I am not comfortable sharing that part of me with them, yet. So I am hoping to find support here. Real support. Motivation to stay on my path this time. I am going to be 40 in two years, and I really wanting to feel good about this next phase of my life as a healthy, sexy Mama.
I am 5'3" and weigh in at 152. I am more concerned about my BMI which rests at 27.1 or so. I would love to be at 125, or 130.
So, here's hoping for moral support. For motivation. And to give YOU my support too.
Cheers!
