Hello all my fellow "Fat Chicks"!
I'm Missy, 27 years old, mommy to 1 adorable little boy who is entering his "terrible two's", and I live in the beautiful Pacific NW with my hubby and son (just North of Seattle, WA). I'm brand new to this site and am SO excited to dive right in and get to know you all!
A little history... I've always been "fluffy". I've got thunder thighs, a J-Lo booty (not nearly as toned, unfortunately!), and - thanks to pregnancy and post-pregnancy weight gain - those ugly, nasty stretch marks (I prefer to call them my "mommy badges")
Right before I got preggo I was within 8lbs of my goal weight. I ended up gaining about 40lbs during pregnancy and my weight just kept creeping up after I gave birth. Now hubby and I are discussing TTC#2 soon and I REFUSE to get preggo at my current weight. So... I'm trying to get down to a healthier weight, just to put some back on during another pregnancy (sounds cRaZy, I know!!).
I just started taking Alli a couple weeks ago (*GASP*)
It's not nearly as bad as everyone thinks - you only get those nasty side effects if you eat too much fat in a meal, so it forces you not to! I'm only down 2lbs so far, which is a little disappointing but at least it's a loss!
Slow n' Steady is better than gaining...
Anyway, that's me in a nutshell! I look forward to getting to know all you rockin' chicks!
