Hi everyone

I'm new here too. I am desperately looking for help and support and I have a good feeling I am going to find it here. I am a 44 yr old mum of two boys aged 8 and 11. I have had a weight problem all my life and I am presently 265 lbs, not the heaviest I have every been but I certainly need to do something about it. I know there are no quick fixes and I would like to change my whole lifestyle not just losing weight but getting fitter too. So I am here for the long haul and hoping to get to know everyone a little better too.

I have never posted a diary before so I think that will be the best place for me to start.

Welcome ShelleyB! I am new to the forums too. I've already received a lot of support and encouragement here and I know you will too.

I got recommitted to eating healthier and losing weight just this week. I'm currently at 267 (well, I think I'm down a few pounds this week but weigh-in isn't until Wednesday.) My highest weight ever was about ten years ago when I reached 311 pounds. Four years ago I was down to 287 and lost 82 pounds with Weight Watchers. My mistake was quitting WW and thinking I could do it on my own. Big mistake! Without the support from others and the accountability of having to weigh in each week I ended up gaining back all but 20 pounds. But, I'm back on track with Weight Watchers (which really works well for me) and am determined to become healthier and lose some weight.

Coming here helps. It's encouraging to know that there are others that have faced similar struggles as myself...makes me feel like I'm not alone.

Anyway, just yell if you're needing some support and encouragent.
