New and looking for a support system!
| Thu, 09-09-2004 - 2:20pm |
Hi! My name's Lisa and I'm not new to iVillage but am new to your board. I'm a 30-something wife, mother, and stepmother and the last priority in my life for several years now has been my body. Not good, I know so here I am wanting to change that but I have zero discipline without a support system. Since having our daughter 6yrs ago, I have managed to put on 40lbs and am currently weighing in at a whopping 215lbs! Yuck. I want my 150lb body back or at least a smaller one. It's just so much harder now and even after diet programs, diet pills, jogging, and walking, I seem to stay put or slowly gain a pound or two every couple of months. Stress has been a very big issue in our blended family which hasn't helped my weightloss any.
So there's my intro and hoping I can get to know you all and learn what you're doing that makes you sound so happy on this board! :)
Here's to our 30's! :)

Blended family here as well. My husband and I married 3 years ago I brought 3 boys to the marriage and he brought 2 adult children and 2 teenagers (who we have custody of). I can so relate to the stress of getting two families to become one and not loose ourselves in the process. From what I can tell so far (being a newbie to the board as well) This is a great place for support. :) Welcome.

You will find this a happy place to be- and just wait until we start eating better and sleeping more
