Hi Everyone,

So I was one of those 'Skinny *****es'with a super hot bod that used to stop traffic...you know...one of those women that now I love to hate :) Never cared what I ate - McDonald's, Ice cream whatever and never gained a pound.

Here's what happened...

6 Years ago I broke me back in a car accident and it took a long time to recover - I'm sparkly fine now (and sail all the time) but no more high impact exercise for me which I find very difficult because I love high impact - used to cross country run (for myself-not competitively).

5 years ago I met the man of my dreams (he still is) and he loves to cook (good thing 'cause I can't) His ideal meal goes something like this...home made pasta, heavy cream sauce with LOTS of cheese, home made olive loaf, and creme brulee for dessert.

5 years ago I started working online from home...10 second commute.

Just turned 40 and going to lose this extra 30 pounds and whip myself into shape!

Looking for friends who can relate - and anyone else who wants to say hi! I make one hell of a cheerleader!

Amy

    Welcome aboard! Glad to hear that your back is better, how scarey! I understand about how easy it is to gain weight and how hard it can be to lose it; however, it's possible and you CAN lose those pounds that you want to lose! Please feel free to add me if you like :smile:

    Lol, this was me in me as a teenager and my early to mid twenties.

    Feel free to add me for support..I just met my goal of losing 29lbs (and still counting) on 7/2/11.

    I am 43 and lost 32 pounds to date. Sounds like we have a few things in common sans the car accident and running thing. LOL! Oh... and my husband doesn't cook. I was a cheerleader at one time though! Feel free to send me a request for support. If nothing else, I offer some comic relief throughout the day. :D

    i was stuck in a size 14 for the longest. then I got rid of my exhusband (stresser of bad carbs and colesterol) then after a month of getting my head straight I got busy on me. A yr later i was a unhealthy size 4. Long story short today I am with the man of my dreams and im a healthy size four. The trick is a strick diet that i follow with my husband and the gym. though it sucks that the last 2 weeks the gym has been closed. However, I just finished a 3mile power walk to make room for dinner. My Husban is a gormae chef. sorry for the mis spelling!:drinker: :drinker:
