Hello everyone, my name is Amy. I just turned 40 December 17. I am finally understanding what all those 'older' ladies were talking about years ago when I was a slim young whipper snapper lol. "It only gets harder to lose as you age" yeah yeah, whatever i thought, I will never be more than 10 pounds overweight like these 'older' ladies. HA, the jokes on me. I am now 40 pounds above my preferred weight, and it is just not coming off. I mean I lost 5 pounds after two months of sticking religiously to my plan (weight watchers at the time) and regular exercise. I used to lose that in a week a few short years ago. I really hate to pull the thyroid card, but its true both my mother and grandmother suffered hypothyroidism, so I will have it tested to be sure.
I have an old injury which makes exercise challenging for me so for my b-day my husband is treating me to 6 months with a personal trainer. He also agreed to meal delivery, but we were having issues with fed ex getting to our house in the middle of no where, so that i on hold. I think I am going to tick to eating only when I am hungry and stopping when just satisfied.
We run a small 14 acre family homestead in the Blue Ridge mountains of NC. My husband and I have 4 kids ages 12, 15, 16, and 22. I really love my life here, although it is currently -14 (with wind chill) no fun feeding animals in weather like this!
Anyway looking forward to getting to know you guys! Hoping to find some motivation.
Blessings
Amy
