in Introduce Yourself
Hi all,
My name is Tiffany and I have never had a weight problem.... could eat what I wanted, when I wanted, as much as I wanted.

THEN I turned 30 and gave birth to my 3rd baby a year later. After she arrived, I started working out and lost a good amout of my baby weight. (I gained 50lbs). I plateaued when I got down to the 10 lbs to go mark and actually started gaining weight back! I didn't get it. I was working out harder than ever, but kept gaining weight back. I was frustrated and tried calorie counting. Eating what I wanted, but staying under my calories. I was STARVING and I gained 2 lbs! So I quit that after a month. I think I have finally realized I just can't eat like I used to (and I am a foodie). Gosh I love good tasting food! Don't we all?!

My goal is to lose 15 lbs for now and then see how I feel.

I just started "eating clean" this last week and came here to track my food and exercise. Look forward to meeting you all and seeing your successes!!!!
