New here and so incredibly excited!!

[WillAndFinn'sMom]

Thank you all for all your stories, pictures, etc. You've inspired me so much.

My name is Eden. I'm 35 and have two sons - Will is 9 and Finn is 6 months. I married dh as a size 12 and am now a size 22 (!), 20 on good days.

We're leaving for DW on October 18th. I'd love to lose 35 lbs by then (if I can remember right, that will put me in a size 18, 16 if they're generous), but what I'm striving for is to become healthier and more comfortable with myself.

I've only got one picture online and you can't see me very well in it, but as soon as I figure out how to post it, I'll do so.

Thanks for sounding like such a supportive, welcoming bunch. I'm glad to be here!

Thank you!:D
I'm following WW plan, but not going to meetings. Hopefully I can talk dh into doing this with me. I've had success with WW before and am happy when following the plan. I may modify it a bit (I'd like to try cutting out more carbs).

Hi, Eden!

We've got LOTS of WWs here. Some go to meetings (like me:p ), some are doing WW on line, lots are doing it on their own like you.

This is a great place to come for ideas, inspiration, encouragement, advice, just friendly conversation with folks going through the same thing you are.

Welcome!!

(You all have such cool names!)

[glo]

we even have a post at the top of the page with WW recipes...lots of people here on that plan and you will find lots of encouragment and support from people on that plan!!!

Looks like I'm a little late on the welcome wagon, but welcome nontheless Eden! :)

WELCOME!!! I have struggled since my baby was born to lose this extra weight I've gained from my pregnancies- my baby is now 4! Well since 4/1 I've lost 19.5 (you'll soon see yourself celebrating these .5 pound losses!!) pounds and 17 inches! You'll hear this stressed- measure yourself- on weeks you don't lose you will still lose inches- those count! And I'm confident by October you can lose 35 pounds- find a program that fits your style and get consistent with an exercise routine and check in at WISH!! It's been my constant sidekick- if I get a craving I head to the board to see other's in need or to share my struggle and bam food is not that important any more. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

I started at 236 and am just about to see 216! :) I can sort of fit into 16 size Liz jeans- and I'm almost 5'8 so that can give you some hope!! I hope to be below 200 (around here they call it Onederland) before our WDW trip 9/23. So if I can lose 40 pounds by then- you can lose 35!! Jump on the train and get losing!

Welcome to W'ISH' Eden!! :) There is nothing like a WDW trip for motivation!


You will never find a better support group! :)

[nativetxn]

Hello again, sweetie :wave:

I think it is great that you are joining in right away. That member clipart looks really good on you. I'll bet you have that 5 pound loss clipart pretty soon, though. You will be <i>stylin</i> before you know it.

I've got a feeling that you are going to be a great success at this weight loss stuff. You've got all of us to help you and a wonderfully positive attitude. I think you are going to have a lot of fun reaching goal.

I'm looking forward to seeing your photo :) Why don't you join us in chat tonight so that we can get to know you better?

9PM main lobby of chat...<i>be there!</i> ;)

Hi Eden- I'm one of those WW's that's not official (don't pay or meetings) but I love having this great group of people to hang around and the support is always here - hope to see lots of posts and get to know you a little better.

Wow. Thank you all so much. What a wonderful group of people.

Hello Eden, welcome to WISH. It sounds like you have the right attitude about getting healthy, which is the first important step. Welcome to the WISH family, I look forward to reading about your journey. BTW, I am another unofficial WW member, I follow the program at home with the support of WISH because we do not have an English speaking WW meeting available where I am in Italy.
