in Introduce Yourself
Hi there! I'm in need of some support, advice, encouragement and tips. I'm 39 years old and my twins are 18 months old. I'm currently 281 pounds and need to lose 130 pounds.

Now is the time to get healthy for my kids. I have been overweight since I was a kid, but now I have little ones that are counting on me. Would love some friends who can help me on this journey. Thank you!

    Count me in! I have a 7 year old and a 2 year old. I started out last week at 300lbs. That was when I realized, I needed a serious change. I was using my kids as an excuse!! So here I am, trying my best to count calories and become more active!

    So I have to admit I posted this originally and then didn't do anything. I taled myself out of starting. A family get together on Sunday changed that. My grandmother is 94 and 2 of her siblings lived to about 100. If I am going to live a long time then I need a healthy body. So today I started! Yah!!!

    I am tracking my food already and I don't plan on looking back. I have a new future and it looks promising.

    You can do this! I don't have twins, but have 2 kiddos and have only gained weight after each pregnancy, bringing me to a top weight of 278 in November. Since then I have lost 55 lbs, but had 2 setbacks at 10 & 14 lbs (a cruise and a general bad month) where I gained back a little due to my crazy eating. Now I'm sitting at 49lbs lost, and determined to not have such big setbacks.

    Mom of twins here!

    Okay.... they are 32 now..... but at least you know I survived!

    April 2017 I was 288 lbs...... I'm now 179.5 working towards 160 lbs.

    It can be done and the positives are too many to count.

    Feel free to add me to your friend list...... I post daily. :)
