Hello! New and Scared...

Hello. My name is Lucy. I have a part time job, well, actually two..I have two children, and believe me, they are a job in themselves! I will be 35 this year and I am getting extremely frustrated. Ever since I had my daughter, I have been gaining weight at a speed I did not think was possible. I put on over 100 pounds in ten years !

Some days I feel so disgusted with myself and I don't know where to start. A really low point was when I went on vacation last year to Ireland and had the MOST uncomfortable plane ride. It was awful - the looks, the staring, and not fitting into that darn seat without a shoehorn!

I have tried various diets in the past and just can't seem to stick with it OR the working out. I was interested in the South Beach Diet, but want to investigate all diets before I commit to one.

So, here I am.

Hiya Lucy! Welcome to the board. I think we can all relate to the things that you are feeling! It's a long and frustrating road and the ladies on this board are a big help it getting through everything. There are also lots of different plans (I am on Weight Watchers). Anywho, make yourself at home and I hope you stick around!


Welcome!!!

Thanks,Shawna! And I can sympathize with the lawn chairs. Nothing like standing up to get out, and it's still stuck to your tush! And I did visit your website a few minutes ago! What a wonderful acomplishment for you, it looks like you have done a terrific job! Keep up the great work!

Oh my gosh, I had no clue it was so popular! I grew up in western MA and moved a bit closer to Boston a few years ago, and I was the only Lucy in my school! How cute that there are little fuzzy pets with that name. Rats? Are you serious? My daughter has hamsters, teddy bear ones, I believe. I like to chat with them when I'm straightening her room. They are always asleep! But they are cute. Gnome and Mole. Don't ask, LOL!
