HI EVERYONE!!! I am new here and still trying to find my own feet. My name is Mary, I am 22, and a mother of two small girls. Ever since high school I have struggled with my weight. never really appreciating who I am inside... always thinking that I'm not good enough if I'm not thin enough. NOW... for the first time in my life, I like me!!!! I REALLY LIKE ME! I know that sounds silly! I'm the largest that I have ever been with the added baby pounds... and I'm the happiest I've ever been. anyways I guess I should just get it over with... I weigh 230lbs, I'm a pant size 20. I want to loose weight for the first time for ME! not for some guy I like and don't think I'm good enough for because I'm too large. I wanna losse weight to be healthy, to set a good example for my girls, and to live a longer healthier life!

Well theres my want.... but I am not very good at motivating for this! I always mean well and do good for like three days and than bam!!! back to bad eating.... so I am REALLY hoping that by joining this forum, that I can be more motivated and maybe lend a helping hand to other people who feel the same way!!! well I look forward to being here more and meeting more people!!!
 
welcome to the forum! You'll definately find whatever support and motivation you need here. I know I did, and now i'm 30lbs lighter!

Good job on realizing that in order to lose weight, you have to want to do it for yourself, not for anyone else. I know you can do it! I also suggest heading over to the "Weight Loss Diary" section and starting up a diary. It's a great way to post about anything, from sucesses to failures, and to the struggle inbetween.

Welcome again! And i hope you find what you've been looking for!
