Hi. I'm new to this site.

I used to be in shape and and a runner, but I developed an injury which kept me from running at a
critical time in my life. I had a terrible job, long commute, I was getting married and I turned 30. All that happened in one year and I started piling on the pounds (stress eating, no time to cook and no exercise!). I gained 55 lbs. Now, I've lost 25 over the last two years, but I'm tired of messing around and tired of being overweight.

I thought I'd use this site to help keep me focused and on-track to loose the next 25 lbs.

    Best of luck to you ;) I joined last month for similar reasons. Had my daughter two years ago and gained A LOT of weight. I managed to shed all but 10 pounds and have been the same weight for a year, even though I go to the gym religiously. I have lost inches the last year, however. I decided to join the site to get the last 10 pounds (and extra 15 I was already overweight) off my body once and for all. So far I've lost 4 pounds in two weeks. I LOVE it!

    Good luck ;)
