Sid's first post

Age: 22
Weight: 245
Goal: 150

Hey girls, I am a mother of two. 5 and 7 mos. After my first child I lost a whopping 70 lbs looked and felt GREAT! Then they took stackers with ephedra off the market and I gained it ALL back. After my second child I vowed to lose 100 pounds by her first birthday. 7 months later I have only managed 30 lbs and have been stuck at 245 since 2008 started. This year has been VERY stressful. My husband lost two jobs and we decided to move away from the small no future town we are in and move to the coast of MS he went down there to find a job and had lots of offers but came home for the weekend and had a wreck that totaled his car. that was 2 months ago and he is still without a settlement and a car to go back and take the jobs, so we have been living off my paycheck and all the stress has made it hard for me to stay motivated. But I got to thinking lately that what goes up must come down and eventually it will get better right? This can't last forever, so when its over and we are living near the beach do I really wanna put on a swimsuit that makes me look like a beached whale and go to the beach with my husband and 200 skinny B*&^%$# in bikinis? Well of course not I am ready for him to be drooling over me. I am so frustrated with how hard it is to lose weight and how unhappy it makes me that I am overweight. I am ready to make a MAJOR change and start losing weight!

you've got a lot going on sid. but keep this in mind. you may not have control over whether or not your husband gets the settlement, or whether or not he will be hired, but you *can* control how much you eat and how often you work out. The closer you get to your goal, the closer you have one less ball to juggle.

Sounds the like the one thing we all (or most) have in common here is that we've gained, and lost and gained again. we did it once we can do it again.

good luck!
