New...what else to say...

ellekay22

I met my husband online (8 years ago, 7 years married), so I'm hoping my charm and wit can find me some friends on this site too.
I am, firstly, a mom of two boys - 3 1/2 years and 10 weeks. I am also a wife, a proud pet owner, and a special education teacher.
I'm 33 and trying to lose 50 lbs to get to my goal weight of 180 lbs. I don't need to be skinny. I need to be me again and size 14/16. I need to wear clothes from a regular size store, even if it is the largest size. I need energy to chase my 3 1/2 year old.
I have a cracked sense of humour, I tend to complain to let of steam (but always in a light hearted way), and I am looking for friends who enjoy a good laugh.

Cheers!

Hey there. You sound like you are a bit like me. Two kids and a chunk of excess weight left in the aftermath of their delightful arrivals. I have a son who is 2 years old and a 10 week old daughter. I joined this website at the beginning of the week and have already found it helping. Due to living in NZ we work in kg's not lbs. I think 20kgs (what I want/need to lose) is about 44lbs?! Like you I want to be wearing standard size clothes, my 12/14 jeans would be fantastic, and feeling fit and fab.
I am a teacher too, primary age kids (5-13yrs) and also need to have the energy to chase the toddler around. Not easy to do with a 10 week old baby though, eh!
Anyway, welcome to the site and nice to know there are lots of us in the same situations with needing to lose the post baby extra bits ;-)
Good luck.

Hey There. I'm new to this also. Sound's like we have a lot in common. I hate being fat! I have been thin before and it is just so freeing. What has happened to me? UGH! I want to be able to grab a pair of jeans and a t shirt and not even have to look in the mirror. It's been a long time.

Hi - I am new too. I also met my husband on line - we have been married 5 years. I have been trying to figure this all out. I really like the ease of the food diary and ability to log exercise. I haven't really gotten to adding any friends, which I really need to do...
