Just joined! I always find *writing things down* to be helpful, so that alone was enough to motivate me to try this!

I've had 9 full term pregnancies, and while I'm busy with my houseful... I have gone from a size 5 (98 lbs "soaking wet"!) to an 18!

I remember when I could eat anything and everything and people would comment that I needed to eat more because I was too "skinny" and looked "unhealthy"! Now... my blood pressure is through the roof and I need to lose weight for more than vanity!

I think my husband would appreciate a thinner me... He probably has forgotten what I looked like before we married! It would be fun to remind him, too!

The fact that all of you are here, and available for encouragement, is a great motivator that I didn't know about until I finished jotting down my first day's "log"!

I look forward to learning to know all of you!

We CAN do this!!!

    weclome carrierella!

    those were the days *sigh* (when I could eat anything and not gain).

    alas, they are gone, but not forgotten, thus we strive!

    How do you like my attempt at poetry? :tongue:

    I think you'll like it here!
