Brand new to this…
so it ought to be interesting! I was always a skinny lil thing until about 10 years ago when I married my 400 pd husband. As he gained to 675 pds I gained to. I went from 140 to 199 during that time. I kept telling myself that it didnt matter but we all know it did. Although most of my weight is in my tummy only that is enough for any woman to feel bad about herself. My face and arms bother me to but I dont think I will have much issue with taking that off. I have a goal of 140 again but truthfully I would just like a flat stomach, thinner arms and face and to feel healthy. I have a 4 yo daughter and I want to be able to carry her when she is hurt and do things with her! So anyone reading this get on my case if I start really slacking! I am one of those types who does the opposite of what anyone, society or family, tells me to do so dont push my buttons or I will just stop. I am saying this so that you can gently push me toward my goal as I am pretty sure that this is the only way I will stay with it. Ok, so now I am on my way and hopefully my buddie here can keep me motivated! Let the journey begin

Sounds like you are on your way to a new beginning. I am alot like you with the “button pushing”. Don’t tell me “You had better”–it is like hitting the stop button. Or “You oughta do this”. That’s another one. I can be gently persuaded, but not with either of those terms (hahaha).
We are all here to encourage you. If you need some “gentle nudging”, you know where to find me.
