in Introduce Yourself
Hello, I'm 32 yrs old and ready to get started!

I've struggled with my weight all of my life. After I got married I got really big (my hub also gained weight) and finally in 2007 I decided to go back to pre-married weight. I didn't get there all the way but maintained. I then gained it back because of stuff going on.
I moved to Austin last year and everybody here is in shape! It's awesome. I joined a soccer team and just became active. I lost the weight again and more. I now weigh what I weighed on my wedding date BUT I still have more to go. I'm 5'9 and about 225. I carry my weight well and want to get to 175lb. That's the goal right now.

I stopped working out about 2 months ago because school at night and working full time kept me busy and tired! But I'm back and ready to get on it again.

Hope to meet some folks going through the same journey as me. :)

    You are so lucky to be in ATX!!! I went to UT and miss that city so much! It is rated as one of the healthiest cities in the country, making it an awesome place to stay active and find healthy food. I live in small town Nacogdoches now, and it is a lot harder to find healthy options and activities. Say hi to Zilker for me!

    Totally know where you're coming from. I have put on 60 lbs since 2003 and I need to take it off. At my heaviest (without baby weight) I was 230 lbs. I am now at 211. I want to get down to 170 and then we'll see. Right now my goal is to be down to approx. my premarriage weight of 195 by the end of July. Definitely could use some encouragement!
