Can I join you?

I have a ton of weight to lose and I could use all the help I can get. I have lost weight so many times in the past, but after I hit 30 or 40 pounds I start gaining it back and I never reach my goal. I sure you know the story. Anyway, I have got to start again or my weight will get so out of control that I will never be able to lose it all. I have lost 53 pounds in the last few months( I had a little help, I just had a baby plus I have been sick.) and I have about 60 more to lose. This is the perfect time for me to do it since my Dh will be gone the next 4 months (what a great surprise when he comes home.) and then we are moving. I would love to look great the next place we go. My 5 year old has also started to notice that I am"fat". I know she doesn't say it to hurt me, but it does. I would really hate for the other kids to say things to her about my weight. The baby is crying, so I gotta go, but I wanted to say Hi and see if I could join you. I love reading your success stories. It makes me believe if others can do it so can I.

Welcome!! Glad you found us.

The board has really picked up recently. I hope you don't get lost in the crowd. We're here for you and you're here for us.

If you're like most of the ladies on this board you may be lacking motivation. I've been reading the archives of this lady's journal http://amysloss.diaryland.com/older.html she is such an inspiration. She's also about to have a baby so she'll be posting her post-pregnancy journey in a few months.

www.Fitday.com is also helpful if you're unsure of how many calories you consume. It sure surprised me when I started using it again.

Hopefully you can get on track with us!!
