I'm new to this site, I'm hoping this will be the help I need to finish off my last 20 pounds. I'm not new to the weightloss game. 2 years ago I was at 255 lbs and managed to properly drop 80 of those pounds in about 9 months, but I've been struggling on this last 20. I'm attempying to maintain my weight as much as possible right now, because I quit smoking a little over two weeks ago, so far so good, but I know that I need to start exercising now, but lack motivation and very little support from family makes it difficult, so I will turn to you guys for my support. Just to let you know who I am, I'm a 35 year old female from Arizona, married with 5 children. I've been working in Law Enforcement for the last 7 years and hope to further my career by transferring to Highway Patrol, but I need some work before hitting another acadamy, my first one 7 years ago was difficult enough.

Thanks everyone,

    Thank you for the welcome, yes I'm a big Harvick fan. So far I'm enjoying this site, I just need to figure out how to balance out my work, family and self, in order to accomplish my goals. I have always been about taking care of everyone else first, it's hard to change that style of thinking after so many years.

    hello im not sure how to work this site quite yet but im hoping to learn fast. Im 24 years old and since i changed jobs about a year ago i have just gained so much weight. I used to be a bartender/ server and always running around so my weight was fine to me but now that i just stand in one spot all day i've seen that i'm gettin really big and can't fit any of my clothes anymore. I just need the support to get me going im at 190 now and want to get down to 140 so wish me luck i was never good at eating healthy or working out but im thinking enough is enough my health is very important :smile:
