Hey Everyone,

first off, thanks for clicking on this post (yay :) )
My name is Laura and I am a proud mommy of a 9 month old beautiful boy named Ryan. I am happily married and been with my hubby for almost 6 years. I have always had a weight issue but before I was pregnant i had lost 48lbs and was on a great path. I lived in a small town and had two friends who were personal trainers and who i worked out with all the time... now fast forward ... we moved ... i gained all the weight back and some ... had a baby... now I am at the heaviest I have been in my entire life. I am currently on this new healthier lifestyle to better myself and to be the best mom I can be to Ryan. I log everything and love checking in on peoples pages, diaries and the message boards. I would love some more friends and support on here especially those who are around the same goals as mine ! right now my September goal is to lose 5lbs and then each month I plan on coming up with small term goals in hopes to reach my MASSIVE goal of being under 200lbs which has not happened in YEARS upon YEARS!

Anyways, if you are looking for a friend and support partner then please add ! I love to support but I also desperately need the motivation and support as well!!

Laura

    Hi Laura! I'm on a very similar journey. I'm 5'3", 240-some pounds, and have a goal of losing over 100 lbs. I am trying to reach out and add friends here on MFP, because I like feeling held accountable. I'd be happy to add you, and help support your journey!

    I am a little under 5'5" and at my heaviest was 314!! Last year starting 3/24/15 I embarked on the journey of losing the weight. Well, fast forward to today and I am a little over 200 pounds. I would like to lose another 50 but I am happy where I am at too. I have never been healthier physically and emotionally. Good luck to you and I would like to motivate and support you in any way possible. I know it is a tough battle but you can do it.

    Hi. I'm right there with you. I'm also 5'10" and I started at 273lbs in August. I'm slowly losing the weight (I'm down to 265.5lbs). I log almost every day, so feel free to add me and we can help each other! My ideal goal is to weigh 150lbs, but I'm focusing on baby steps. I'm watching what I eat, and for every 10lbs I lose, I'll allow myself a treat. My first one will be a (mostly) guilt free ice cream sundae :-)
