    Hey there - welcome! :flowerforyou:

    You can add me if you want! I'm 29 - 30 this year - and have a 9 year old daughter. I gained all my weight because I drove everywhere, I ate the wrong foods and didn't recognise that to be successful at achieving my goals I have to make changes to my lifestyle rather than do fad diets etc.

    I am here to support and encourage you on your journey.

    Good luck! :happy:

    awww thank you everyone! going to add all of you now :)
    a little bit about my whole situation - i work a desk job (yippee) ... i do pretty good during the day i pack a nice little lunch and leave my debit card at home! NOW...after work is where the problem lies! I get so hungry all i want to do is eat, even when im not hungry i am still raiding the cabinet! my boyfriend is a huge motivation but when he leaves for a bit i am right in the kitchen tearing everything up! and i just got a gym membership so i have been working out, but to see no results because of my night time attacks makes it extremely discouraging! :(
    plus ... the weekends appear to kill all my hard work i have done that week when i go out with friends & have a drink, or 2, or 3....

    Like you - I work a desk job and actually eat fairly well at work but the weekends are killer.

    You can do this! I have been at it 6 weeks and it's getting a little easier as I see the pounds come off.

    Feel free to add me! I'm 28, mom of two, and nighttime snacking was a HUGE issue for me. Not the eating at night part (because that isn't necessarily a bad thing), but because I would eat little throughout the day and then gorge myself at night without even thinking about what I was putting in my mouth. Now I try to balance it as much as I can, and those nighttime cravings have really dwindled down to practically nothing.

    You sound like me!! I'm 22 with a 1.5 year old and a 7 month old. I love them dearly but I gained all my weight from the pregnancies, especially since they were so close together. Not only that but I can not resist any sweets that come my way. I've been going to the gym, more regularly now (whenever I can get out that is!!). Trying to watch what I eat and count calories, but sometimes I slip a teeny bit! Oopsies...
    I need to lose about 25 more pounds to be happy. 30-35 would be amazing. Hoping to add yoga and Zumba classes to my fitness routine soon too!
