I am a mother of 2 who has been struggling with my weight since i was 13, and i am now 28. I am currently at the heaviest weight ever at 313. I am devastated by this, but i am ready to make a change and get my butt in gear. I would love any tips any of you have, and are willing to share. I have decided you can never have to many people to support you when it comes to getting healthy.

    The best things you can do are to faithfully log everything into MFP. And get some friends who will not only support and encourage you, but to also hold you accountable. You can add me as one of those friends, if you like.

    great for you for taking the first step
    i suggest try a few different approaches and see what works for you... main thing that is the same for every approach is water intake! drink it up... i do low-carb, low sugar, and low fat....
    get some new recipes too, i find that i get bored and then that makes me want to eat the naughty things that are not good for you
    so take baby steps, walk a bit a few days a week, and dont get discouraged if you have a bad day... just dust yourself off and get back into the groove of things
    you can friend me if you want support... good luck!
