in Introduce Yourself
Hey all! I'm new here and while I think I've gotten the hang of the tools available, I am still in need of friends and support. Any and all positive influences on my life are welcomed!

About me: I'm a wife, a mom of 4, and I suffer from chronic back pain caused by years of working as a surgical dental assistant with poor ergonomics. I've had 2 unsuccessful surgeries in 2012 on my back but I'm currently pursuing more "holistic" treatment options and having great results so far!

My progress so far: 3 weeks of body mechanics exercises, classes, and treatment. Daily stretching and posture exercises. 3 weeks of eating breakfast (I used to hate breakfast). Increased energy and feeling great!

Current stats: 5' 1" ~ Female ~ 142 -147lbs (depending on the day) ~ 35" waist ~ 41" hips
Goals: 125-130lbs (I have always fluctuated up and down by 5lbs) ~ smaller waist and hips (ha!)

In all seriousness, I'm just looking to get back to my old self again, the me I was before the back pain took my energy away.

So, who's with me?

    I am sending you an add! We are about the same height and you very close to my current weight and measurements. I am not always great at commenting on the daily posts that show "calories were eaten and below target" but I do "cheer" for success and try to offer encouragement when warranted!!! I feed off the energy of others as well.
