I've been posting here on and off for a month now, and just realized I never introduced myself. Probably because I've been lurking for quite a while (Aug. 2007) I just felt like I new everyone, but it was still rude.
I’ve got down to my goal before (for my wedding, excellent motivation and why it is my avatar pic). That was 2 years ago and then I put on 15lbs. of post wedding bliss in about a year. Then we got preggers and I had a miscarriage at 16 weeks and the put on another 15lbs of depression weight. On day, a long, long time ago (Aug ’07) I hopped on the scale and it said 169! I decided that there was no way I was going to get up to 170 so I started there.
I started eating better, and stopped eating out so often. There were so many times that I would stop on my way home from work and get a Whopper, no mayo (yeah cuz that makes it better) and then go home and make dinner, and eat it like nothing happened.
I lost 10 lbs in 2 months…but now I’ve slowed down to about 2 lbs a month loss. I think I’ve lost all that I can without exercise and need to get my butt to the YMCA that I signed my DH and I up for.
You guys have been great and don’t even know it. Now you do.
Thanks, Niclyn
