Hey,
The names Elle, I am a 20 yr old mother of 3. My youngest is 6wks old and I thought I was doing pretty well with my weight loss until today. I decided to shop for some new clothes for the first time in almost a year and so I took my measurements and discovered that finally after three pregnancies I've let myself get pushed into 2x sizes. And after about thirty minutes of crying I realized that it is my own fault and if I can get myself into a 2x I can get myself out of it. So here I am. I've browsed a lot of posts in these forums and I am very excited to be a part of a weight loss community that is so driven and supportive.

    Welcome!
    Congratulations on your new baby to start with! Gosh, my son will be 4 in October and I'm only just actually starting to seriously do something about it, so 6 weeks after a brand new baby is an achievement in itself! Dont beat yourself up about it, you should be proud of yourself.

    Good Luck on your journey, we're all here for the same reason!! xx.

    Thank you ALL for the wonderful support. Usually after two days on a diet/fitness plan I fizzle out. It's super hard to find time to work out but seeing all of the positive attitudes on here and getting to look at everyones NSVs keeps pushing me forward. Here in Texas it hit 101 degrees and my flabby but was out walking up hill mid day the whole time thinking of all of you!

    Thank you all for your inspiration!!!!!! You're each one an answer to desperate prayers!
