    Hello Everyone,

    I'm 32 Mother of 2 beautiful Children! My Son was born in 2008 (at 10 lbs 8oz) and my Daughter was just born 10 months ago in January and she was a big baby (12 lbs13oz) which now has brought me to my biggest weight 300lbs. Depressed is not the word......I was a fit person all my life, but as soon as I gave birth the birthweight stayed and made me feel selfconcious about everything in my daily life. My family ridcules and is negative about weight and says hurtfull things which has made me feel more horrible. Thank God for my Husband who pushes me and tries to motivate me to get to it and not to let anyone stop me from my GOAL!!
    I got my Christmas present early...exactly what I wanted...a membership to the gym (YAY) Love my Husband so much for motivating me and supporting me through everything. BUT Sometimes its nice to get that support system outside of the home.
    Today was my first day and I burned 300 calories and feel pumped for tomorrow. Slowly but surely I will get to where I need to be but I just have to realize it aint going to be easy and it aint going to be quick....so I have to get that old mind-set I used to have...that its apart of my lifestyle, my everyday thing just for me.
    Don't let anyone tell you "You Can't", cause it will make you want it even more!

    I just have to tell myself the fast food is just not worth it. I can eat so much more for the same calories and maybe even get dessert too! It won't be an immediate change overnight, and most of the time the journey will be hard but we are all here for you and you can do it! :) If you need a friend feel free to add me
