Hi everyone! I'm Jessica and decided to give tried and true slimfast a shot. I am at 30 year old home childcare provider and mother of two. During my first pregnancy I had the "eating for two" mentality and put on in excess of 90 pounds! 5 years and one child later I have lost about 10 of those pounds.
I am starting this journey at 215 +/- pounds and am committed to sticking with it. I will need encouragement from friends and family but I would also like to join up with someone here!!!! (note: I tend to get discouraged fast if I don't see immediate results. But who doesn't?) Anyone looking for a buddy???
I think that losing weight is a lot easier if there is someone who is on the same page you are. When you have children, you feel that your extra time & energy should be with them, taking care of them and their needs. I had someone once tell me that if I am not taking care of myself properly how do I expect to take care of my children? I know what she said was right but how do you get to that point? I feel that I am finally there.
I agree.... I just cant find the time to get on the tredmill. I would have to wake up super early. I am so not a morning person.
I agree about the time issue, I am a mother of a 2 year old and a 2 month old and time is always my biggest problem. My husband is deployed right now in Iraq and I run constantly to keep the children and house taken care of that I feel I have little time for myself. So, this is my first step to take for me so I can feel better about myself. I look forward to keeping in touch with all of you!
