    Welcome! This site rocks! I have tried sooo many tactics before and never managed to stay on track - this site does it for me and a lot of other people.... make sure that you track your food everyday and everything that you eat - that alone helps with keeping you accountable for what you are eating. When you need support/motivation just sent out a post and we'll all be here for you...

    Good luck!

    Welcome to the site. I am only on my second week here, but I love it. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. I lost 3.5 pounds already and this site really makes me want to do it. Check out the exercise message board. I have actually been motivated to do crunches and push ups. The people on here are really doing some awesome workouts. Very motivating. :smile:

    Hi! Well today is my first day and would love to meet others that have stuggled with weight. I'm a mother of 4 boys and married for almost 16 years. When I got married i was 126 lbs. After my pregnancies still only 126 then woke up one morning and was 180 from there the weight just kept adding on . Now i just can't get motivated. My cousin and I were going to the gym and I was losing but then we stopped. First of the year we were talking about going back and then found out she was pregnant. So I lost my buddy system.:sad:

    Thanks for your reply to my post- just wanted to say I can relate to not having the motivation-LOL! I know that both of us can do it though. Hope to hear from you again soon, Take Care!!
