Hi there I'm new to this thing a great friend told me about it! The reason for me being here is obviously my weight I need to gain control of my life and not let food consume me I need to be a healthier person for my self and my a
Amazing husband eventually we want to have children and if I am the weight I'm at then if I ever do get pregnant I'll never be able to play with them the way my husband can so I need to do this for my self and the future. How ever I have a issue I tend to start all these diets and quit because I get to disscouraged I have even seriously considered the gastric bypass . But what I need from you all is the boost encouragement and most of all friendship. Thank you talk to you soon.

    Hi, I'm Hollie. I've been on this site a little over a week but, decided to make my lifestyle change back in Jan. I have a a lot of weight to lose and it will take a long time to get where I want to be but, I'm going to do it no matter what! I'm just taking it a day at a time and when I fall, I get back up and keep going!

    so, I know if I can do this anyone can!!!
    You can do this and there is a ton of people on this site for support!

    you can add me if you like.

    have a great day!

    Hollie

    Hi there!! My friend recommended this website to me so I decided to give it a try. After having 2 kids the excess weight just doesn't want to go away so today is the day that I start my journey to lose the weight and get in shape.

    You can add me as a friend and we can motivate each other to attain our fitness goals.

    Have a wonderful day!!

    I joined in Dec. and am glad that I have. I am losing on average about 2 lbs a week. Some weeks I've lost up to 5 lbs. Just remember this is a lifestyle change and not just a diet. I wish that I had lost my weight sooner, I may have been able to have children.
