Starting over, again, for the hundreth time!!
Hi, I have been here for over a year and have been on a weight loss journey for a LONG time. Unfortunately I have let life and my kids take precedent over my health! I am reverting back to old habits and see myself making horrible choices for my long term health! I know for me, I do better with lots of like minded people…

Starting AGAIN, want to start AGAIN with me??
I'm not new. I've been here for a while. I have AWESOME friends here, some of which I've made a point to meet in real life as well. I've lost a bit of weight, but I'm not HAPPY with where I am or where im headed. I have lots of excuses as to why I've failed in the last few weeks, but they are all bad excuses and none will…

Too fat to date to hot single mom..
Two years ago I got the, " You are just too big" speech from a guy that I wanted to date. Have recently heard comments about being a hot single mom.

Losing weight and dating....
So I have always been turned down (and still do get turned down constantly) because of my size, weight, bod, etc. I have always thought that if those men who have turned me down would just get to know me they would see that I am a really great person. Why do they have to base their opinion of me solely on my looks. Fast…
