Hi Everyone! I'm new here and I'm doing this just for me. Over the past year and a half, I have gained quite a lot. Most of it is due to baby #3 and anti-depression meds, but I digress. The fact remains that it is here and I want it gone! I could lose a ton of weight, but I would be happy to get back to pre-baby weight. Reading through some of the posts, you all seem to be a very optimistic and supportive community and that's what I need. Yay!
I am here too after gaining a lot as of recent too. Our weight, goal, and height are the same. I dont have my weight posted now, but i am about the same as you. I cant post my weight until i lose some or i get discourged when i see my ticker so FAR away from a goal, ha ha. Funny the mind games i play with myself...anyway. So tell us a little bit about yourself. What is your game plan for getting the weight off? What exercises do you prefer?
I am a calorie counter and so far so good. 3 pounds this week...woohoo. And my exercise of choice is my elliptical 3 days a week and some kind of strength training/cardio video 2-3 times a week. So far that is working for me, i will have to bump it up eventually but for now this is working.
Look forward to getting to know you and seeing you around.
HI and welcome!
I sometimes lie to others about my eating habits...even to myself sometimes!!! But on this site I am TOTALLY honest...And that helps me a lot. I find the fitday website to be an excellent tool to help me... Make sure to have a look. Good luck!
Yep - this board is the perfect place for that! We all have different stories, but we all are in the same boat of wanting to get healthy and lose weight!

Welcome, ZooGirl!
I have been on, then off, then on, then off, now on again...just because of my own "stuff." You are right that this is a supportive, nice group here!!
Hope you find all the support you need. I'm happy to be back, myself.

Hey, had a question, Get n healthy. Is it true that you burn a lot more calories on an elliptical than on an exercise bike or treadmill? Dh & I have talked about spending a little of the economic stimulus money on some bikes for the family, and on a piece of exercise equipment.
Only thing is we can't totally agree. I've told him I've heard that the elliptical burns so many more calories, but he, I think, is worried about getting bored with the elliptical, so he thinks he would rather have a treadmill.
