Hey :)

Hey guys! *waves* So yet another new kid on the block. I guess I can start with saying that I actually joined here awhile ago but then totally fell off the bandwagon. About 2 years ago or so i was 196. I got down to 140 within the course of about 10 months or so. I've since gained back to 167 :( I slacked off and then quit smoking and i've gained.I'm not putting myself down too much considering i've gained about 15 since i quit smoking and it's been about two months now :) I would LOVE to get back to 125-130ish. I'm pretty short (being only 5'3) so it seems like a pretty healthy number. I've lost weight before but I had the motivation of being newly single and back on the market haha. Well now I'm not so single and happily taken :) I know at some point that question will be popped, and I can't allow myself to look any less than I know I'm capable of. I'd love to help motivate some people and I wouldn't mind some extra motivation myself :)

    If you want motivation, first fill out your profile so you know why you are motiviated to be here. Second, friend about 20 people who are active and working towards goals - feel free to friend me!. Finally, log in EVERY day and keep track of what you eat. It has been eye-opening for me.

    You've done it before, and you can do it again. Good Luck!

    Thanks guys :) Yeah I really need to get back down to where i was. I really started noticing a difference in the past month or two since I quit smoking. I knew I was going to gain though so like I said, I don't feel as bad as I would if I was gaining just out of laziness haha.

    Hi and welcome back! I, too, am new and have fluctuated. I lost 270 pounds in my divorce (230 was him), met a new guy...then kids came along. I'm apparently as emotionally attached to the baby weight as it's physically attached to me...because we can't seem to part ways!! When I left the hospital with my second baby, I was at my pre-pregnancy weight. THEN I had an IUD, and jumped up to my DELIVERY weight! I'm finally losing that, and won't stop until I'm at my pre-baby weight!

    Feel free to add.
