in Introduce Yourself
Hi everyone,

My name is Melanie, and I'm from New Brunswick Canada. A friend of my recommended this site, and I love it already. There seems to be such amazing people and support here.

I am very unhappy about my appearance, and I want to change. I want to feel happier, healthier and most of all more comfortable with my body. I want to be able to go out into the public with my family, and not feel embarrassed about my weight. I want to play with my son, and not feel drained from a simple tickle fight. I want my whole life to change for the better, and most of all change for the best! This weight HAS to come off! I'm only shortening my life, and my family needs me. I'm in my 20's, and I'm 300lbs. I want to live life to the fullest, but it's so hard when I'm so overweight. I plan on getting on track, I plan on being a better person and I plan on being a new me!

Please don't hesitate to add me as a friend, or send a message my way. I love making new friends, and having others who truly understand what I'm going through.

Hugs!
:heart:

    Welcome Melanie! I'm Autumn and I just joined the other day. I feel the same way you do. I just had my daughter 4 months ago and so far have only lost 10 out of the 50lbs I gained while pregnant. My goal is to lose 75-100lbs. I want my confidence and body back!

    Hello there! I'm Marissa and I have actually had this for awhile but never used it. I am probably the best yo yo er in the US but after having my son 8 months ago and staying at a whooping 162lbs (I am only 5'1) I am going to get to business. I want to love myself and not do it with food!

    Hi all, my name is Rebecca. I just joined yesterday. I really like the site because I have to see the food I ate through the day on the site. It really helps. I have a lot of weight to lose. Slowly through the years I have gotten soooo big. I'm so tired of people's rude remarks and the older my children get the more it affect them. Besides I read somewhere that someone my age (30) has a life expectancy of about 31 and I am not done with my life. I like the forums because there isn't much support I feel at home for me so seeing other people making the change makes me not feel so alone. Please feel free to friend me. I will try as much as possible to be there for you all along the way as well.

    Hi Autumn, thank you so much for the welcome! Congratulate you on your daughter!! That's such exciting news. I have a 4 year old boy, and it seems like just yesterday he was born. Time flies way too fast. I also gained 50 pounds while pregnant (we seem so a like haha!), I feel your pain. I was big to begin with, but not this big!!! We can do this!!! It's going to be a hard journey, but worth it!! :heart:

    Congratulations on your son!!! :) I have a son as well, but he's 4! Being a mommy is such an amazing job. I'm a huge yo yo-er... It's ridiculous! Hopefully we can both stick to this! Never ever hesitate to message me! :)
