I'm new here

Options
Hello everyone! My name is Karen and I'm 42 years old, the mother of a 4 year old little girl. I have had enough of feeling unhappy with myself and how I look. it is making me cranky and miserable, God bless my husband :happy: I have tried other diets and plans and realize the only thing that worked for me was accountabilty, track my food and belong to a group of people who are on the same journey. So here I am!

    I made an account and started on Monday! I am so excited.... My advice to you is to look through the before and after pictures on the success message board! It is very engouraging :) And start tracking EVERYTHING you eat even if it is a piece of gum or 1 m&m.... those things add up! I have lost about 4 pounds since Sunday night (i weight myself at night not morning).

    So glad you joined!

    Hiya im new here 1st day today,
    Im Dawn Im 29 im mum of 2, both under 3, i lost around 21lb last year but now most of that has crept back on, i was on medication for depression which made me feel sick so easy to lose weight by not eating, I know i can do this but i dont have the motivation, hubby can eat what he likes and not gain an oz so can make it hard at times
