edited September 30 in Introduce Yourself
A few weeks ago a friend introduced me to this website and I have fallen in love with it! About 4 years ago, I had lost 100lbs. then had another child, had a few health concerns, and lost control. I gain every pound back plus some! I felt like a failure not just in weight loss but in everything-my career, my marriage, being a good mother, etc. I knew what I was doing was not healthy and my body was beginning to show signs of this abuse. I have high blood pressure, pre diabetic, weak back, and occasional knee issues. I have two young boys and this is NOT the mother I want to be. I'd been watching/listening to a friend as she journeyed through her weight loss and there was a spark that was beginning to ignite deep inside. My birthday was approaching and I decided to I was going to get myself the best gift-the gift of health! I reached out to my friend and here I am! I am feeling great and I am pleased to have found this source of support!

    Welcome to MFP! You and I share a similar story. I also gained all of my weight loss back, and I want to be a more active mom. Friend me and we'll support one another through this tough (but very worthwhile) journey!
