New here, looking for Support!!

Hi, my name is Wendy, I am a 31 yo mom of 4 boys. I am currently a stay at home mom, I did have a home daycare up till my youngest turn 1 last october. Well, I have been struggling with my weight all of my life. I have not had much luck losing. I would like to lose about 120 lbs.
I tried curves a few years ago and lost over 20 lbs and 20 inches, but got pregnant and dr. made me quit. I have been wanting to go back, but now I just dont have the time, I have had another child besides during this time and I need help with motivation and support to get me going again. My kids wear me down, you would think once we chase them around all day and play with them outdoors we wouldn't be heavy, (there are a few lucky ones).
Thank you for listening and I hope to make some new friends in our quest to lose.

Hi Wendy,
Welcome to the board, and best of luck to you!
Hi, Wendy!
My name is Mary and at 53 I'm probably one of the "grannies" of this board.
Hi Wendy - My name is Jena. I just would like to encourage you that you can do this!!! I think the trick for me is not to go on yet another diet. For me, I have found that dieting does not work because you gain the weight back. I have found that I have to learn how to eat healthy and not focus on the foods I can't eat, but to focus on what I can. I have lost 85lbs with this way of thinking and if I can do it, anybody can. I have about 135 lbs more to go. Just break it into 10 lb increments! Remember, YOU CAN DO THIS!!
Take Care, Jena

Welcome to the group Wendy, we're glad to have you with us. I do know what you mean by having no time with the kids draining you. I only have 1 child (2.5 yrs old) and he's a handful! My only advice to you is try to make yourself a priority (I know... I know...) but think of it this way: when mama's happy, everybody else is happy LOL. Honestly though, when you start losing weight you'll be more active, gain stamina, and feel happier... and the kids will really appreciate it. Now if I can only listen to my own advice...
So do you have a plan of action yet?
