Hello all! Just dropped by to introduce myself. 32 y/o female currently weighing 170 with a goal of 137. My weight has crept up due to circumstances beyond my control. Within the last two years I have been pregnant two times. The first pregnancy was with twins and resulted in one miscarriage (vanishing twin syndrome) and one stillborn child. The second pregnancy resulted in another still born baby boy. It adds insult to injury that I gained the pregnancy weight without gaining the blessing of a child. Thus, I would like to rid myself of this constant reminder (the weight)of my losses, both emotional and physical. I am also physically isolated from my extended family and friends, as I now live abroad and would love any support anyone can offer! Thanks in advance and best of luck to each of us in our weight loss endeavors!

Noel, Thanks for your encouragement. It was, and is terrible, and I can't wait to get rid of the weight since it is such a constant reminder. Here is to weight loss on both our behalf! :)

Hi y'all, just joined this site n I hope to lose some weight for summer. Any healthy eating and exercise tips that you found amazing or especially effective from personal experience would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a bunch. Good luck to everyone, and to myself too, lol :-)
