People wanted who actually talk - please apply within

Hello hello hello! This site seems pretty helpful. I am married with 3 sons, just finishing my business administration certification, and going back to work after 5 years of being home with my boys. After I had my last son I weighed 188 which was 12 pounds less then when I got pregnant. I started exercising while preggo. After 2 years I got down to 132 pounds! I maintained that weight for about a year. People started telling me I shouldn't lose anymore weight so I eased up on the exercise and started to gain weight before I even realized. At 150 I got depressed and lost all motivation, which leads me to where I am now at 170. It also increased when I started school in Jan '13 because my program was VERY intensive and I used it as an excuse to stop working out altogether. Well, I am starting a new job this Monday, graduating next week, my middle son just started kinder last week, and with all the changes I think the timing to get back on track with my weight is perfect. I am one of those people that has to be obsessive about my diet and exercise in order to lose weight, so it requires a ton of dedication or I simply don't see results. Half-assed doesn't work for me. I blame it on a slow metabolism and my curvy body type. Anyhow, I look forward to sharing motivation, tips, and recipes with y'all.

Don't give up. I will be fighting my weight for the rest of my life due to a rare genetic disease that I have. Perseverance is my word and I live it.

This was for macismom btw.....but it can apply to all here.

Hi all! I was just thinking to myself today that more than half of my friends on here aren't even active. I log in daily and could always use chatty people on my news feed! Anyone feel free to add.

If you're still In the market,then me too! I need more than just a "good job!" I like to talk. Or type, to be more precise.

But I like being the brooding silent one. :sad:




Nah, just kidding. I warn you, though, my idea of talking may drive you crazy. That and the fact that I talk non-stop about ice cream. And food. So, come prepare. BYOIC. Bring your own ice cream.
