in Introduce Yourself
Hi, my name is Rose and I live in MA, US. I'm excited to be here, I think I know a few people who are on this site but I haven't lurked enough to find them yet :) I used to manage a McDonalds for 6 years, and it was amazing how much exercise I got there, lugging boxes, running around like crazy, 8-9 hours a day...most days I was shortstaffed so I didn't even take a break! Anyway, I got tired of it and I now have a great job that I love, but I spend most of the day sitting. I gained 10 pounds since April, and I want to lose the 10 I gained last year as well. So my goal is to lose 20 pounds, I don't think I want to lose much more than that, because I love my curves. But lately there have been rolls where rolls aren't supposed to be and my tummy is much bigger!

    yeah a job where you sit all day makes it harder ... good for you for embracing curves though :) Ironic that you got more exercise working at McDonalds haha

    Thank you, I'm very happy to have left, not just because of the food, but mostly because of the work environment. I'm a much happier person now! And in a few months I hope to be a smaller happier person too :)

    Is it possible to use html in the signature space, to change the font color and size?
