I'm old but new!
I don't know if any of the same people are around, but I was a regular here back in 2006-2007. I lost 110 pounds and reached my goal weight of 165, ran a half marathon, became a running coach, etc. It was wonderful, and quite short-lived. I (happily) got pregnant right after reaching my goal weight. Now it's seven years later and I have an almost-six-year-old boy, a five month old baby girl (yes, at 42), and I've packed on all 110 pounds plus an extra 10. Part of it is bad diet and no exercise and part of it is that no matter what I do I can't seem to lose weight after my 2012 gall bladder removal surgery. I've set a goal weight of 185 this time. Honestly, my biggest reason for losing weight this time is because I miss running. I was never athletic, but when I fell in love with running at 35, I fell hard. I need it back in my life.
Anyway, I know this is a wonderful place for support, because it was integral to my success seven years ago. I've come back a few times, but haven't stayed. I have to make it work this time.
