Round 2

Hi everyone. I'm back for round 2. I'm 36 and just recently moved to the Northwest. Five years ago I changed my eating habits and started walking and lost about 80 lbs in 7 months. Life hasn't been easy since then. I got married, two pregnancies, the loss of our son, my mother moving in with us due to a stroke (nearly ending our marriage), depression, anxiety, thyroid and fertility issues. I put every last one of those pounds back on and about 30 more.

I finally found it in me to start again. I've been quietly lurking around and logging hoping it sticks this time after a number of failed attempts. I'm currently down almost 20lbs and feeling hopeful.

Good luck everyone.

    Life is so tough sometimes, but you are tougher and can do it. I am an emotional eater and weight has been up and down for years. Keep your head up high and believe in yourself!
