Hi. I am a 32-year-old single mom and I live in Wisconsin. I am taking full-time classes online toward my diploma for medical secretary. I am on my last semester. Woo hoo!! I started putting on the weight after I got my driver's license. I have yo-yo'd a lot, but I'm at my highest weight right now (220#) and I can't stand it anymore! I'm tired all the time and I don't have any energy for my kids. I'm embarrassed to go to family functions and other social occasions because of my weight gain. I am here because I need to take back control of my life and I know I can't do it alone. :D

wanna lose too

hi i am a married mother of 2. Happily married (most of the time). I have gained sooooo much wieght over the past 10 years. I used to be very active now I don't (can't) do much of anything. I avoid social functions and make excuses not to attend parties.
I still do lots with my kids and their functions but any of the thing that my husband and I would go together I avaoid. He has been after me to loose weight and everytime I get angry. I shouldn't because he nevers says it is so I look better he wants me to do it for my health. My Dad died very young of a heart attack and my husband is afraid I will do the same. I am scared of that as well!
I need Willpower any one have any extra!
 
sure - i have plenty - have some of mine :p
although i did gain all of it from posting regularly on here .. my weight loss diary really motivates me each day! try one :)
 
Hi,
I know too about what you mean about avoiding family gatherings etc. I have friends (who I haven't seen since I was a UK size 10 - US 12?) visiting in March, and even though they are good friends, I am still worried about them thinking I am a blob! 70 pounds or so to go.... Well, even if I can be 1/3 of the way there by March it will be worth it.
12 gone now!
Keep at it - just imagine the whole new wardrobe you'll need :)

Hi wanna lose! Welcome! Good luck and I hear you! I was 240 at my highest and on 5'3" it was terrible! This is a great place to get support and ideas! Starting a diary has been great for me as well as tracking my food at fitday.com!!
Good luck!!!
