Hello, my name is WinterRose and I am a food addict. :doh:

Okay so some basics about me. I am 34 & married (for 15 years), mother to 5 girls ages 2 to (soon to be) 16. I was naturally skinny my entire childhood until I turned 18 and got "knocked up". I gained 55lbs w/my first child and have struggled with weight since. Six years ago I lost 60+ pounds. I lost it by walking, taking diet pills and eating very little...oh and add on stress which is a whole other story.

Of course I gained it all back because I did it in an unhealthy (really stupid) way...a way that doesn't promote a healthy lifestyle change.

Anyway...here I am...needing to lose 60lbs again and feeling frustrated and at my wits end because I keep wanting to find an easy route when there isn't one. I'm ready to start over and do it right this time. I punched in "weight loss" and found this forum!

Looking forward to getting to know the members here, extend support and receive support in this journey I'm about to embark on!
 
welcome to the site -

do start yourself a diary -it's the best place to get support, keep track of your challenges and success and to get to know you better.

Spend some time reading the stickied threads around the forum and do ask any questions you m ight have.

Welcome and have fun
 
welcome to the forum. I hope you find the support here that you need to help you in this journey of losing the weight you want to lose.
 
OH this place is sooo amazing! I'm excited to get started.

I was wondering...where do you all get your weight loss trackers in your sig lines? I love 'em!

Hey there and welcome :). Add a "y" (tickerfactory.com). These are fun for tracking your weight loss. Best of luck on your weight loss journey.
 
yeyyy you have a ticker.

if you select "weight" it will show your exact numbers and weight loss (if you wanted to do it that way).

I find it easier to make sense of :)
 
I think you'll see that the people who've been around for a while are sticking to a healthy lifestyle and losing weight at a steady pace. No quick fixes here, just hard work and dedication and of course plenty of support! good luck and welcome, this is a great site.

I couldn't quite figure that part out. I'll see if I can change it. Although it'll be a big move for me! I don't even tell my hubby how much I weigh...lol...but since this is annonymous I think I can manage. :p

(Hope he never stumbles onto this site. :rolleyes: )
 
Thx for the welcome Dave!

I can already tell this place & the members will be a great motivator for me to finally get healthy...the right way.

I'll have to figure out the ticker thing later...my 2 y/o just crashed in my arms and the rest of my girls will be home from a football game soon.

I'll be back soon to start a diary and look around some more!

G'night!
