I AM A 29yr old the wife and mother of 2 beautiful sons. My sons are the ages 2yrs AND 5mos. I am a RN and have been a nurse for 10yrs. I am on this weight-loss journey to better myself. I have always been on the heavier side of life and I just feel that its time to get the ball rolling to a new and improved life-style. I would love to fit in nice clothes and to be able to wear a bikkini. I know that sound crazy but it has been always a dream to be able to be comfortable in my skin. I never have been happy about my weight. Ok so in highschool I was not considered fat but I was compared to the petite girls in school and now that I am older I wish I could at least be that old size now and if I wanted to make changes I could start from there lol!! I know wishful thinking huh!! well would have been nice. Now after having my babies I sit at the steps of 300lbs....I'm 5'7 and thats way too wt. especially when my range weight is to be about 145-150. So as I mark on this journey, that I started the middle of Dec. of 2010 I plan to complete this part of my life. I have accomplished some tough things in my life and if I did that I can def do this. I try to stay encourage when I can cause alot of times I have no one to do so. I mean my husband is there but he knows not of my struggle physically nor mentally so there is only so much that he can relate to....does that make sense.... I mean he is a great support system but sometimes I need encouragement from those in the fight with me. Well I guess I rambled enough. I would love to have a buddy system to where if one buddy on here is not able to chat or to get on the site that I have enough buddies to fill in the gap, and I would do the same for them. TTYS Be Encouraged
