Hi all,
I am relatively new here--well actually I have been visiting 3fatchicks.com since 2001. But after looking on the forums recently I really like the support groups. It is just a little intimidating because most groups have been formed for a while--and naturally it takes a while to come up to speed with everyone else. From what I have read this group is great--and you are all Moms like me. So obviously you can relate to the stress and non-stop action of being a mother. I recently decided enough was enough with the way I looked and felt (let alone the climbing number on the scale). I need to dedicate myself to living healthy, not just for me but for my family. I have two daughters--Jessica is 10 and Alexa is 11. They keep me hopping. I am married to the man I met and fell in love with while living in Italy 13 years ago. He is really supportive of everything I do (thankfully!). I also work full time, and go to school online. So never a dull moment!
Currently I am using what I have learned at WW in the past (but don't do strict points, but I do use them as a reference tool quite often). Also I do think about everything I am eating, and aim to keep it all healthy. Oh ya, lots of water too! I am also eating mini-meals every few hours to curb any feelings of being too hungry. So far this has helped--because that "hungry monster" has caused me problems in the past! This past week I lost 7 pounds. Woohoo! I know it will slow down, since surely it is a lot of water weight. But I will take it!
I look forward to getting to know you all, as long as you don't mind me joining this group! I hope!
