starting all over again

hi, always looking for encourgement as well, )

Hi Gayle, I'm Mary Anne. When I got married, I weighed 104 and up until our son was born a couple of years later I still weighed 104. I began to gain weight when I got pregnant with our daughter and after she was born, I weighed 120. After than I gained and then lost weight lots of times. I lack will power. When we moved I gained even more weight and weighed the most I'd ever weighed. I decided that I needed to lose and was determined that this be a lifestyle (like ME), I needed to be able to eat all the same foods I normally would eat, just less of them and I needed to keep track and exercise. While I still have 10 pounds I'd like to lose, I have lost 47, so far. The last 10 have been significantly harder. Good luck on your journey and I'm there for you!

hi everyone my name is Gayle, I am 47 years old and again am starting over on weight loss. In my young life I was a skinny rail never gained an ounce and ate everything. since my first pregnancy my body changed and seems I looked at food and I gained. So since then I have struggled with weight. WW was my most success and I took off all but 10 pounds of the weight I needed to. But then I got lazy and ate again. Plus being an emotional eater and going through several emotional points in my life... well you know the rest. Here I am hoping to find support and encouragement and even friends.

Hello Gayle, this post could have been written by me! I'm exactly the same. I ended up doing really well and then quit smoking and gained 70lbs. So im now back on track to shift that weight and try to live the rest of my life healthily. Good luck on your journey and i'm here also if you need support.

good luck feel free to add me 8)

Hi my name is Carolyn and I'm starting my weight loss journey over. I started a year ago and lost 41lbs. I was attending school at the time and graduation was approaching so I stop going to gym (and gained the weight back) to make sure I finished strong. Now I'm back at it again. I'm more commited to my program this time around.

We are all in this boat together! I started having issues with my weight after I started having kids. I would lose the weight after having them and then gain it all back up to full pregnancy weight! I am still over weight all these years later. Can't blame it on "baby fat". My father was an uncontrolled diabetic and passed away in January. This was my turning point. I know that what happened to him could very well happen to me if I don't get a grip on things and turn this around. Love this site with all the motivation and support that is around.
