edited September 27 in Introduce Yourself
Hey all, I swear I posted an intro last week, but I don't see it, so maybe not. lol In short, looking for new friends on this journey!

Long form:
I'm Renee, 35, SAHM of two young boys, and just getting back into the swing of things now that my youngest is getting old enough to leave to his own devices (with his big brother) for a while. :)

I'm originally from Chicago, IL, but now live in Adelaide, South Australia, and love it. Completely.
In the past I lost 52lbs/25ish kgs with WW, but that was when I was younger, single, gainfully employed (which meant I could afford a gym) and childless! Then I moved here, where I couldn't work, couldn't afford a gym membership, couldn't find any of the foods I used to eat (ground turkey and black beans were staples)... Not to mention breastfeeding (and/or being pregnant) for the past five years really screwed up my metabolism and activity levels.

Anyway - I'm excited and very motivated at the moment, and was glad to be pointed here by a friend. Nice to "meet" you all! :)

    That's fantastic! I can't wait to be close to goal. I have a LOT of weight to lose...about 70lbs! Way more than I've ever had to before. (Can I blame the kids? Lol)
