in Introduce Yourself
Hey there! I'm Bec. I'm not new to MFP, but I've never really jumped into the boards before. But, this time is THE time, so I'm looking for lots of support.

I'm 38, mother of two, wife of one, full time business analyst, part time blogger, full time girl ;) I've got about 175 pounds to lose. My heaviest was two years ago at 385. I recommitted on Sunday, starting weight 359.7. As of yesterday, I'm down to 353.6. Working on 'clean' eating and exercise (training for a 5K now, with plans to run a half marathon before my 40th birthday in 620-something days).

So, feel free to add me. Especially if you've got significant weight to lose. Not that I'm discounting losing 20 pounds, not at all. But it's nice to have people that understand the challenges of trying to get fit and healthy with a high start weight. It isn't easy but we can SO do this!!

<3 Bec

    Hi Bec. I'm Mandy. 38, wife and mom to 3 (18, 11 & 2). I started out last year in January with WW and did really well for about 6 months. Lost 37 lbs. It was easy for me at that time. Somehow lost my motivation and have been struggling and trying many things since. My starting wt with ww was 238, I am 5' 8". That's my highest wt ever. Guess that's what motivated me in the first place. I am now 10 lbs from that weight and really don't want to get back to that. Just have to change my mindset somehow back to what it was. Anyway - I'd like to get back down to 150-160. Would really like to see 140 again - but I know that may be unrealistic. Feel free to add me.
