Hi, my name is Carol, I am a 30 yr old married mother of 3 children ages 6, 3, and 2. I am almost 300 lbs, the heaviest I have ever been. I contribute it to staying at home with my kids, lounging around. I want to lose at least 100 ibs. I have been overweight ever since highschool, and I decided enough is enough with all the excuses and lying to myself. I want to enjoy myself and not feel like an old person. It can be difficult to schedule daily exercise, apart from the exercise I do evryday keeping up and taking care of my kids. It is stressful for me right now, because I am trying to find a new job, and this can be time consuming.

Melissa: I hear what you say about an unsupportive husband. Mine comes from the Dominican Republic, and they don't have weight issues down there, so he thinks it's as easy as pie to lose weight. That's why sites like these are so important, to get some extra support outside the home. Good luck on your journey, and don't hesitate to contact me for support.
