in Introduce Yourself
Hello peeps...I've been using the MFP app on my phone for a little while...but today I've decided to really make a go of things and stop making excuses. So I jumped online and have decided to use this format too...

I had my son 8 months ago, piled on 4st through pregnancy (no excuses - I just ate crap the whole time!) and haven't shifted it yet. I feel hideous, ashamed and unfit. So I'm hoping the odd one of you might be so kind as to befriend me and cheer me on in my cause...I'm very weak willed (openly admit this), don;t blame anyone but myself but DO DO DO need encouragement and often a good kick up the bum! So hello, this is me, be my friend :happy: (does that sounds desperate? I suppose I am a little!) x

    You don't sounds desperate you sound smart, you already know your weaknesses and are admitting them and that is a great first step for you. Asking for help and encouragement is the second. You can do this and it sounds like you want it for the right reasons. So keep smiling and get started. This is a great place to find friends and information to help you on your journey. Best Wishes!!!

    Aww thanks everyone...don't feel like the awkward shy new girl so much now :) It's always great to have people to encourage you and offer the light touch of a firm boot up the bottom when you're dragging your heels...onwards and upwards! x

    Hi! Welcome to MFP. I had a daughter 15 months ago & also gained alot of weight during my pregnancy (30kg/65lbs). After 'excusing' myself for the first year after she was born (I told myself I wasn't going to worry about the weight for the first year, just enjoy being a mommy)...*ding* time flew by & the next thing I knew it was time to start getting myself back together. SO...I totally understand where you're coming from there. If you'd like to add me as a friend we can chat & help each other with motivation & occasional 'bum-kickings' *LOL*

    I am new here too. This is actually my first day. I had my twins almost a year ago. I gained almost 80 lbs with them . I was put on strict bed rest, and had to drink 4 of the BOOST high protein drinks daily. With the no exercise and diet I was on, it was a disaster waiting to happen. The fat and carbs in those drinks killed me. This is the highest weight I have ever been. 8 years ago I lost over 70 lbs (I had always been over weight my whole life), and felt great. Now i just feel like a lump. I know I have the will and determination to do this, I am just now putting my mind to it.
