I'm new to this site, clicked a link one of my friends posted and here I am. I've been psyching myself up trying to get motivated to start my weight loss journey again. I've done it before. I can do it again.

I'm a 32 year old mother of 2. I joined Weight Watchers after my second child was born, and reached my goal weight 6 months in. I maintained my goal for 2 years, but then life got in the way, and I started slowly gaining back all that I'd lost. My youngest is now 10 and I am tired. Tired of being overweight, and tired of feeling bad about myself. Right now, I am at the heaviest weight I've ever been, truly, I don't think I was this heavy during my 9th month of pregnancy! Its definitely time for a change. I'd love to have a support network, friends going through the same thing. Motivation is a huge factor in success for me. Accountability, too...

:)

    HI! I'm also new here. Hope you can be successful in losing weight. I'm on the other end of the spectrum and wants to gain a little more.

    Hi! Losing weight isn’t easy, if it were everyone would be skinny. Track everything you eat. I’m on weight watchers at the moment as well as using my fitness pal and I’ve learned that tracking is key. Make sure to make time for yourself to exercise even if it’s a 30 min walk. Start with what you can do and move up from there. This is a great site and has a lot to offer if you utilize it. My dairy is open and you can add me if you'd like. Good luck on your journey to becoming a healthier you!
