Hi all I am new here. I have battled with my weight most of my life, but it wasn't until 12 years ago that my weight got out of control. I gained 100lbs during my first pregnancy and kept it all on. 10 years ago I lost 70lbs but put most of it back on when I got pregnant with my son. I have 4 beautiful kids and I want to do this for myself as much as for them. I no longer want to be a lump on the couch when they want to go to the park or go bike riding. I want to be active for them so they don't grow up with the same issues I have. I want to start today..now.

    Good for you! Reach out to some of the folks on here, they have been a great support for me. I haven't lost much yet but it has been nice to see that others are doing it.
