Hi!! My first time here...

Hi All!!!

I was referred to this site by someone on another forum. I am so excited to have this forum brought to my attention!

I just re-joined WW yesterday, so I have a long journey ahead of me, as well as a lifestyle change. I had joined WW over 5 years ago before I got married, and I was quite successful. Of course I figured I was all set and I stopped going to the meetings. :mad:

Then I joined again in February at my OB's suggestion as I wanted to have a second baby and I had not lost the weight from baby #1. Well, the day of my first week's weigh-in, I found out I was already pregnant. I lost 7 pounds that first week! :D But, then I stopped again. Good thing was I only gained 25 pounds in the second pregnancy, which I have since lost.

My second DD is now 11 weeks old and although I said I would re-join right after she was born, it took a little while to get myself in check. So, HERE I AM!!!

It's comforting to know there is such a huge support group here.

Hopefully, next year at this time, I will be able to provide that support to newbies like me!

Happy New Year everyone & I look forward to talking to you!!

:welcome: to BCB, Debi. You can give support now by example. :) You can show those who are starting like you, that starting over is possible. It takes courage to begin again. Congratulations on your newest baby. There's a board for New mothers here (http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=52). You can find other boards to call home by age (http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=7), buddy system (http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=72), or buddy groups (http://www.healthdiscovery.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=2). Post often!
