Hi- I am new to this board, although I do post on other boards on Ivillage... I am 5'6 and 215lbs... I saw a photo this weekend of myself that put me in panic mode- I have never looked that bad... I am only 23 years old and when I graduated high school I was only 115 pounds, I'm not quite sure how all of this weight literally snuck up on me but I need to do something about it now... My DH and I are having some problems TTC our first child and I think my weight might have something to do with it. I am just looking for someplace for support while I begin this journey- I've been putting off going to the gym forever- now I can't anymore b/c I look in the mirror and I look way different than I feel. Thanks for listening! I'm excited to have found this board!

welcome!!
can't wait to hear your progress!! these ladies are the best. i've been here a week and they are so supportive you wouldn't believe. like earlier i was going to eat something... let's just say something bad, and in m head i was like: now what would the ladies on the board say? they'd say no. audrey put it back, munch something healthier. and i did. did you watch operah today? even though i don't watch her at all, i did when i was at the gym today. you've made the decision that you can no longer live like this. you have decided that things need to change. we can do this, because what is the alternative? we're here for you whenever you need us. again welcome

Welcome to the board Brin.. we're glad to have you with us.
I know what you mean by looking at the mirror and not really seeing yourself.. I am like that too. In my head I'm never that big. Yep it takes a picture to make you realise it.. is this why I've been avoiding the camera?
Have you decided on to do yet?
