Well, my title says it all. I had a bit of an awakening this morning when I stepped on my new scale. I had assumed that I was around 180-190 but nope - I am just a donut or two away from 200 pounds. So, yeah, time to get serious about this. Not sure what else to say. I am a single mom, working full-time, and trying to finish my dissertation. Before getting pregnant I was in very good shape. I had horrible morning sickness and the only thing that helped was eating very simple carbs and lots of it. And, well, I haven't looked back since then and my son is now 3. I am trying to count calories and go to the gym and I am hoping that will be the road to success. I am definitely not about a diet but about a life change. I just think counting calories keeps me more accountable to what I am putting in my mouth. Anyway, I just wanted to say hi and introduce myself. Oh and I want to lose 60 pounds.
Welcome to 3FC, Sarah! So glad you are here I can relate to the shock of stepping on the scale. Why is it that it's never *less* than what one thinks it will be? (rhetorical). "200" was the "magic" number for me too, and I've been on the downhill slope ever since I joined (a whole three weeks ago!).
