Hello everyone!

A girlfriend on mine introduced me to this site. It seems pretty neat.

I am in desperate need to lose weight. I have a 15 month old beautiful little boy and I need to be healthy. My husband and I also want to get pregnant again but I need to shed off some fat!!!!!

I have always been a big girl but since my pregnancy, I have gained a lot of weight.

Thanks for you support!

    Welcome, I just started as well and have a 16 month old son. My husband and I are wanting a second child too. Dieting and exercising is something I hate to do. But I figured I have to start somewhere, so here I am right along with you...

    Hello, my name is Kelcie. I do not have any children, but when I do, I want to be a good, healthy example for them. I also want to get my weight under control so I can do the things I want to do without the fear of not being able because I'm overweight or not strong enough!

    Hi! Thanks for your support. I feel the same way about dieting and exercising. In regards, to exercising, I just can't seem to find the motivation and strenght after a long day at work and coming home to my little boy and doing the nightly routine. My husband is a great help, thank goodness for that.

    I guess we have to take it one day at a time. Today was a good day for me. I logged everything I ate and ate healthy.

    Hope you had a great day too!

    How long did it take you to lose your weight, if you don't mind me asking? Did you exercise a lot? I am trying to exercise at least 3 times a week. I have an eliptical and I also have been walking. I just need to continue on this road.
