New!

Hi. I'm Susan. 5'2".180 pounds. I just had 2 babies back to back. I would feel like my old self at 140.

I have a lot of reading to do to see who all of you are!!

I hope you will say hello and tell me how things are going. Congratulations to all of us for doing this!

Hey! How's it going? I'm 17 years old. 5'4" and have lost about 30lbs from this site. And I couldn't be more greatful. I'm sure you will find wonderful results from this site, as well as wonderful people. Good Luck and keep your head up! :D

Hi there Susan!

I did the back-to-back baby thing too - what a mess it makes of our bodies (but so worth it!)  Mine are 14 months apart, and the oldest just turned 5.

This is a great site - lots of helpful people and great ideas!  Welcome!

Stick to it- our babies need us strong and healthy!

P.S.  When you get a chance, create a profile - I'm nosy - love to read the details!

Hey Susan,  If you stick to what this site tells you, the extra weight does come off. Of course it takes time. Its so nice when it does. Good luck to you.  Your welcome to read my profile if you like.  Angie

Welcome-and congrats for making the decision to do this for yourself. :)

My kids weren't back to back, but they were still pretty hard on my body. lol

Think of the energy we'll all have to keep up with our kids!

Ok, I'm 5'2" and would love to get back to 140 too but I'm shooting for a bit lower than that.  I've lost 8.5 pounds in 3 weeks on this site and I feel great.  I too did the back-to-back kid thing.  They are 15 months apart.  When they wer 4 and 5 I lost a bunch of weight (less then than now) and got down to 140.  Over the last 5 years I've gained it back plus and now I am working on it again.  My kids are 12 and 13 and I love the fact that I had them close but the first 3-4 years were HORRIBLE.  On the diet front...stick with it no matter how bad it gets.  On the marriage front....ditto.  Remember no matter how bad it seems it'll be MUCH worse being a single parent. 

Welcome chicapeapod..

 I am 5'61/2 and currently weigh 234 (down 20lbs now). My goal weight is 160 -155.  I think you will really love the site!! everyone and all the tools are very helpful!!!

Hi, I'm new too.  I would like to lose 25-30 lbs.

I was successful at starting a healthier lifestyle a couple of years ago when I joined a group of women friends who all wanted to lose some weight.  We learned a lot about nutrition and emotional ties to food and eating, and what not to eat.  Then I went from active job to a sedentary office position.  I spend way too much time sitting now. I never did lose that last 15 lbs to reach an ideal weight and now have regained 10. I'm hoping this site will help me keep track of what I'm consuming and put the breaks the direction of the scale!

I really do know what I need to do.  I just need to do it.  I look forward to reading all your posts!
