Hi Everyone. Just wanted to say hi since this is my first day. I'm kind of at my lowest point right now so sorry if I sound a little down. I joined this forum hoping to talk to people who are motivating and inspirational about losing weight. I am a 36 year old stay at home mom and I'd like to lose about 80 pounds off my 5'1" frame. I was called to action after noticing that husband is looking at "stuff" on the internet. He doesn't know that I know, but I know he loves me and I trust him not to act on any impulses he may have, but my confidence is just shattered. I know that he is human, and men like to look at beautiful, naked women, but we've had conversations about how if he wanted to look at stuff like that, all I ask is that he cover his tracks. But he forgot a few times so I was compelled to look at the links and could see that the general body shapes and proportions of the women he's looking at are similar to how I was when we met. I want to lose weight to be healthier and happier, but also want to please my husband, whom I love very much. I want to more closely resemble the woman that he fell in love with even though I know it's not going to be exactly like that after having children. Thanks for listening!

Welcome! I just joined today too :) People have been very encouraging already tho and I think that this will be a great place to get and give motivation and inspiration! I started a diary where I am going to track my food intake and workouts for the day so I have more of a feeling of accountability. If you think something like that would help you out I would be happy to follow you :) Below is the link to my diary if you want to check it out. Don't worry you will be back in shape in no time! I am trying to lose 100 lbs, we can do this!!! :hurray:

Thank you Gymgirl for the warm welcome! I looked at your journal and I love your positive attitude. I need to talk to people like you to get inspiration because I admit, I am on a negative slide right now. Very depressed and disgusted with myself. Since I haven't been in my town very long, I don't know very many people because I am depressed and haven't left the house to have opportunities to meet people. But, I did join a gym on Tuesday and have been everyday since then. I think I am going to follow your advice and start a journal and would very much like it if you followed it as I will follow yours!
 
Hello Texas!
Motivation and staying on a routine is my difficulty too. I am 42 and seeing that there are serious problems with losing weight unlike when I was 19 and could just think about losing it and poof it'd be gone. The one thing that gets me wanting to move is when I look at myself naked in the mirror and I am mortified by what I see. That makes me think of what I need to do to look and feel better. I used to belong to a gym but getting myself up and out of the house to work out with people looking at how fat my belly was and thinking I was 6 months pregnant was not beneficial to my ego. So I bought Chuck Norris's Total Work Out Gym and I am starting to get a routine down, making a list of things to do. It would really help me a whole lot if I had someone I could rely on to motivate me as I could for them.
 
Thank you all for the friendly welcome! I look forward to reading about your progress and sharing mine with you. I feel so much better than I did a few days ago. Everything will be alright. :)
