Hello all!! I am a 27 year old wife and mother of 1 son (who is 1 year old). I have been heavy my entire life and always talk about getting fit and losing weight but I REALLY have to do it this time, not just for me but for my family. We are currently TTC #2, and IMO we have trouble getting pregnant due to my weight. I am here in hopes of finding some good support frim those who are going through the same thing!! Can't wait to get to know you all!
 
Hi, and welcome to the forum :)

What methods have you tried in the past to help you lose weight, and do you have specific methods in mind that you plan to use this time?

I'd suggest reading around- particularly the stickies (some great information there), the before/ after section (for inspiration), the diary section (to see what other people are doing and how it's going), and the new mother's section (to see others in a similar situation to yourself- I presume, I don't go into that section as I'm not a mother).

Best of luck with your weight loss :)
 
Hi! I am a mother of 4 little ones myself:) I can help keep you motivated, but you have to really be ready to lose the weight. I know a lot of people say they are ready, but when it comes down to doing what needs to be done, they just aren't willing to put in the effort. I like that you said you really wanted to do it not just for you but for your family. Your children can be such an inspiration...not only do you want them to have the best mommy you can be, but you also want to teach them a healthy lifestyle.

Are you working out now? Do you write down everything you eat...and I mean EVERY LITTLE BITE! Losing weight is calories in VS calories out....and as long as there are no medical issues that are altering your metabolism, that's the main thing you need to focus on. (only 1% of the population have a medical condition that leads to their overweight issues) I can help you figure out how many calories you need to take in each day, but I'll need some information first. Let me know...I'll be here.
Talk soon
