in Introduce Yourself
Hi there :) Just signed up over the weekend because we're doing a 'biggest loser' thing at work. I've already lost ~60 lbs in the last year or so. I was a stay at home Mom until my son left for boot camp (USMC). A few weeks after he left I started a warehouse job. Not easy work, but I stuck with it. Just doing that and changing a few things about the way I ate netted me that first 60... but then I hit the wall. The holidays came and my eating habits went sour again. I want to get down to where I was before I had my son, 135, but that may not be realistic. On paper that's my goal, in actuality I just want to feel good again, especially when I look in the mirror!

Hope to make some new friends and find some encouragement while I'm here :)

    I'm hoping to drop another 40 or 50, but with my body frame and age that might not be good. I'm afraid if I lose too much I'll look old! LOL

    Thank you for your kind words :) I'm very proud of my son, and he's honored to serve! He's my inspiration... he weighed 240 his freshman year in high school. He weighed 180 when he graduated, all because he wanted to be a Marine!
