in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! My name is Leah, i'm from Soddy Daisy, TN and I'm 25 about to be 26 in march. I'm a wife to an amazing husband named Doug and a stay-at-home mommy to our 6 year old son Devon. Now here's some back story on me: I was never "skinny" growing up, but I had nice legs and butt, a almost flat belly, and nicely sculpted arms and face. UNTIL...lol....I got pregnant with my son in January of 2004. Unknown to me at the time, I had Atrial Fibrillation (a heart defect) and during my pregnancy I went from weighing aroundo 140 lbs (give or take 2-3), to weiwghing 235 the day I had my C-section with him! I have managed to lose down to about 215, but ended up gaining it back over the years slowly but surely. I'm now back up to 240...5 lbs heavier than I was the day I gave birth. :( So I've come to a place in my life where my child still needs his mommy, but is a bit mor eindependant and I can finally take a moment for myself and lose this weight once and for all. :)

I'm looking for a weight loss buddy (guy or girl, doesn't matter) who will keep me in line, and I'll do the same for them. I just started today, so if you think we might get along, let's chat and get thin together! :)
