Weight Loss Challenge

So, I am 26 and a mom to a 3 year old and a 5 month old.  I have Lupus and it stinks!!  I was diagnosed in 2007, put on meds and gained 100 lbs. 

I lost it all 2 years later, but then immediately got pregnant, and gained it alllllllll back.  So here we are another kid later in 2013, and this weight has GOT TO GO!!!

I have over 100lbs to lose!!

This was me before babies:


And me now:


Anyone else trying to do the same or have done it!?  Any success stories or advice?!  Really trying to stay motivated!!!! 

I am looking to go down about 100 too  I am at 280 at moment.  Was 305 for a bit.  My weight has always been to much and I would love to get anywhere near 200 but preferably less.  No kids.  I find it hard to cook as husband is to picky and prefers to get fast food so most often it is just cooking for myself.

I try to make plenty of left overs so that I can grab and reheat in time it takes him to run and grab something.  I hate exercise.  Walking is ok sometimes I will go a few miles but to get up and go...that is a challenge. 

I have lyme and some issues with that(energy is low and headaches often).  Depression leaves me unable to do more then the basics at times(feed cats/do litter/feed dogs, other days I am pretty normal for a few hours till fatigue sets in)
 

I don't need to lose that much.. but losing 100lbs is an amazing feat and completely doable!! Have you tried Weight Watchers? I am on that and slowly losing (well, not lately, I've gotten lazy!)

I'm here for support. GO, GO, GO!!!

NoRachelHere, you are a beautiful woman. I have all confidence if you set your mind to do this you can. Good luck

You can do it! You've got to really want to do it though. :nod: I try to have the ingredients handy for quick, health meals and try not to have a lot of junk in the house. Cook extra and freeze some for meals when you don't have time. You've got to get some exercise into your routine too. I've been trying to walk every day. I downloaded an app onto my phone to keep track of distance, times, etc. I could stand to lose quite a bit more myself.

Keep posting here so we can cheer you on. :nod:
