Fresh meat

  • Hey everyone -

    Just thought i'd say hello and introduce myself. i'm a 32-year-old ex-roller derby gal ("fresh meat" is what we called new girls - or sometimes "skater tots" ) who gained a bunch of weight once i wasn't skating several times a week, for hours at a time. But the weight problem wasn't necessarily new.

    So i'm back on the wagon! Happy to meet you all!
  • hi and welcome! I LOVE the name "skater tots," and also totally love your jogging hippo -- the hippo is my totem animal!!

    What kind of plan do you have to get healthier? Keep us posted on your progress : )
  • I've always wanted to roller derby as I love roller skating... but, I've always been intimidated because I'm so short and I'm afraid of getting clobbered.

    Glad you joined us!
  • Welcome!
  • So am new to the forums and just saw the alternachicks.. lurking to see if this might be my little home away from home...

    I just had to break in here..

    Skater tots is AWESOME. I have been giggling since I read it.
  • Well, I'm doing the Weight Watchers thing, but on my own (I still have the literature from when I did it, oh, 10 years ago).

    Whoa. i just realized i've been out of college for 10 years now! Time warp.
  • Hi!
