Third time's the charm ;)

Hello, I'm Nicole. This is my third, yes third, weight loss journey. *hangs head in shame* After I graduated high school in 2005 I lost 85 lbs in about a year. I got married and had a baby in 2008 and gained back every pound in the span of 2 years. In 2011 I joined MFP and lost over 40 lbs in 5 months and for some reason gave up shortly after that. Actually, I gave up because I felt that the cosmos hated me and it wasn't fair that I had to do this AGAIN. When in all actuality I had no one to blame but myself. I was tired of having to count calories, especially when my husband gets to eat whatever he wants and doesn't gain an ounce (so not fair!) Whereas if I would have stuck with it, I would have been at my goal weight a year ago . So, the moral of the story is Don't Give Up! or you will be in my shoes, a seemingly never-ending circle of losing and gaining. But that is changing now! I have never formally introduced myself on this site but this time I figured, why not? I also would like to have some friends on here So here's a little info about myself. I'm 26, 5'4, stay at home mom and wife, I have a 4 year old daughter and 2 shih tzus, and I love to laugh. If you have any or all of this criteria please feel free to send me a friend request
