in Getting Started
Hello I am the proud mom of 4 wonderful boys ages 9,8,5,4. I recently had a check up and am on the verge of being diabetic. I am currently 272 at 5'4. I hope to make some new friends who will help me on this long journey I have in front of me. I seriously have emotional issues with food that I need to change any help would be amazing.

    Hey there! I'm a boy mom too lol. I have 5. They're 8,7,4,1,and 2 months! I'm also overweight. 5foot8 and 248. I had gestational diabetes, and because of my weight I'm at risk of developing type 2. I'll help motivate and be accountable if you do the same for me. :)

    Feel free to add me! I'm a mom of 4, my sons are 20, 18 and 5 and my daughter is 16. I'm an emotional eater too but my cholesterol was high, heart disease runs in our family and I just don't want to have a heart attack, I figured that my life was worth more than the food that I was putting in my mouth.

    Hi there. Im a first time mom and definitely looking for other moms on this weight loss struggle lol. My son is 1 and man has this first year as a mom been a roller coaster-especially with my weight. When my boyfriend and I started dating i was 5'10 190 lbs-currently im at 260lbs...the biggest ive ever been. Im planning on having another baby in like 1 year n half but definitely dont want to get pregnant at this weight.
