Join Me in My Personnel Battle with Weight Loss

This is the year that I am going to do it. I am acknowledging the fact that I am in fact overweight. My 211 pounds on my 5'5" frame is starting to take its toll on my emotional and physical health. So, this year I have decided that my New Year's resolution is going to be to lose weight. I have started a Yahoo Group that is going to be a place where we can all share our stories and our feelings. Read on to hear a little more about myself and what the group will be about. Come join us if you are ready to battle the bulge in 2008.

I was never the skinny girl in my school. I played Baseball and Softball every year in school since I was old enough to hold a bat and in junior high I started playing Volleyball as well. I always had a lot of muscle on me so I stayed around the 160lbs mark. After I left school, I was lucky enough to marry the man of my dreams at 19 and we had a daughter via c-section soon after our wedding. I decided then to be a stay at home mom for my daughter. When my daughter was 4 months old I found out I was pregnant again. This combined with the stress of our families financial difficulties led me to start emotionally eating. I have been a stay at home mom now for 5 years and it has added to my waistline tremendously.

This year I turned 25 and I have made the decision that I do not want to be fat anymore. However, I cannot do it alone and I am seeking those moms and dads that want to join me in losing weight. My Yahoo Group will be a place that you can turn to let our true feelings out, help one another through tough times, and get useful information. I will be regularly updating information about different diet plans and exercise plans. We will also be sharing easy and healthy recipes with one another.
