Hello from Round Rock, Texas

RunningRatty

Hi everyone,

I am so excited about having found this site and hope to make some friends while I lose weight.

My name is Jane, I am 47 years old and I am originally from England but now live just outside of Austin(Round Rock),Texas. I moved here 4 1/2 years ago and love it.

I am going through a nasty divorce and in the past 6 months have put on about 28lbs. This is a combination of comfort eating and also now living with a wonderful man, but he has a huge appetite and I have fallen into eating a lot of junk food and bigger portions. He stays slim by the way!

I used to run a lot and was a fitness freak but I have become lazy, stressed and contented all at the same time!

I know I can lose this weight and get fit again. My aim is to do a half marathon this time next year. I did a 5K race New Years Day but had to walk part of it. Running was a way of life for me for about 12 years, and I want that and my wardrobe back!

Is there anyone else from Texas out there, and maybe even close to Austin?

In case you are wondering about my name I also keep pet rats, hence Running Ratty

I will be posting a lot I hope! Oh and I'll have a pic up soon.

Hi there. I just live down I35 from you in Canyon Lake Tx. It's half way between Austin and San Antonio, right around San Marcos/New Braunfels. Good to see you on the site.

Keep posting and good luck to you.

Welcome!!!

Thank you for the welcome. Nice to know there are some more Texans around...not that I am a true Texan I suppose....
