in Introduce Yourself
This is me, today. Just throwing it all out there, dirty mirror and all! :) I'm 38 years old. A mother. A wife. A busy, imperfect person just like the rest of us, trying to get it done every. single. day. Here are my stats:

HW: 171 (Sept. 2012)
CW: 160
GW: 135

We can do this thing! Who's with me?

    I just wanted to say thank you to everyone for their kind comments. You don't know how much it means to me! It's funny/ironic that what we are often the most insecure about is the thing that people compliment. Case in point: my arms/shoulders. As a young girl, I had a lot of trouble with my broad upper body. Kids (mostly boys) would tease me relentlessly, calling me a football player, asking if I was wearing shoulder pads. I had the worst time zipping prom dresses up because of my broad back and shoulders.

    When I was in my early 20s (and 30 pounds ago!!) I was wearing a tank top in Mexico and a woman (tourist) stopped me and asked if I was a swimmer. When I told her no, she proceeded to tell me that she'd never seen such a broad back and shoulders on a woman before.

    Anyway, thank you. Truly.

    <<<< this. I was 160 in this picture, but it's a flattering angle. If you call flattering looking thinner than you really are.
