Hello, everyone! I'm new to the board...I was looking for a support forum for those seeking to lose weight and this board came up in the top of my search results.
I am a 31yo mother of two beautiful daughters, the youngest being only 5 months old and the reason that I am again trying to get back into shape. I was working out regularly before my last pregnancy, but due to complications during the pregnancy, wasn't able to maintain my workouts. At any rate, I am now feeling that I have the energy to do something about my weight and I am ready physically and most importantly mentally.
Fortunately, some others from my job were feeling the same way, and we have started a "Biggest Loser" competition at work. It is really a huge motivater for everyone, and we finished week one this past Friday. I lost 6.8 pounds in the first week! I am thrilled, although I know it is mostly water weight. I am very motivated now to continue and keep pushing through and I am looking for support, and hoping to provide support to others with the same goals. I do know what I should to nutritionally and physically to get myself at my peak fitness level, but I don't always make the right choices, and that is where emotional support is needed for me. I tend to get side-tracked by life.
Sorry for the long post, but I wanted to really explain why I'm here, and offer my assistance to anyone that needs it. I look forward to talking with and making new friends on the board!
