Hey everyone... I'm really new to the forum, this is my first day. I've tried losing weight before but it never worked, i think because i have noone on my side. After i graduated high school i moved away from my home town to a city, but I havent' made any friends and haven't heard from any of my old friends. My mother, who always supported me, lives on the other side of the county. All i have is my husband and he's kind of a butt. I've read lots of posts and everyone is so supportive. i'm almost positive that's what a need. i'm already motivated just reading what you all have written. Thanks.

Okay Girl. You can strike that last sentence. You now have many friends. I'm feeling you. My husband (ex) moved me from Oklahoma to Superior, Wisconsin right after we were married. I coped, but I missed my mother (dad and other family members) fiercely. One good thing, he encouraged me to finish college, which I did. So there is a reason for everything. Be strong and of good cheer. We are here for you. Missus

Missus and Tamuril can you be my buddies too??
I really enjoy this forums alot they are great and everyone here IS very supportive trust me Tamuril, missus is right and alot of people who are using phen are much more motivated whenever they access this website . I'm 21 and have a little 5 month old son his father passed away when I was 8 months pregnant, I don't have anyone either my whole family lives in Miami and my mom lives here in Ga but it's like a 4 1/2 hor drive to get over there ...So girls whenever you want to talk you can always count on me....

BOY did you come to the right place!
WELCOME!!!

I can relate, I moved to Illinois from CA many years ago. All my family is in CA. I have my husband and lucky for me hes only a butt about 20% of the time otherwise hes golden. Of course he didn't come prepackaged like that I had a lot of fine tuning to do,

ANYWAY... welcome aboard and jump right in.

All men can be butts.... BUT I'm not always easy to live with either. I think most women can vouch for that???? Come on, honestly...lol

Good luck on your new lifestyle/journey. Let us know if you have any questions or need advice.

I MUST work now...

I know Tamuril, I wish you luck in your marriage and you have to realize that now your husband plays a very important role in your life, give him as much love as you can all men need tuning up like Lisas said so just be patient, and try to understand the reason sometimes he acts the way he does, maybe if he is stressed or something you can give him a massage on his back when he comes home from work and I know how tough being a new mommy is, sometimes just ignore remarks that he might have said cause if you blow up it may trigger an arguement. I pray that you and your family will always be together.

LisaS, you are right about husbands being buts sometimes. But what would we do without them? What would they do without us. Love makes the world go aroung. What the world needs now is love, sweet love, it's the only thing that there's far too little of. (my favorite song). JoanaCubana, I posted you on one of your posts. Give me a post girl. I'm happy to see you are not letting life get you down. I'm sure the baby is a joy. Post a picture of him. I love babies. Everyone, have a great day. Missus
