Hello everyone! It has been far too long since I belonged to this group and I hope you'll have me once again.
I'm Sandye and once upon a time I chimed into these threads daily. I made it to my weight loss goals with the the help and support of the wonderful women who used to be here and I hope to do it again with you ladies.
Speaking of those wonderful ladies...

Girl, you have no idea how happy I am to see your bright and smiling face here!!!
I have missed you!
As I mentioned above, I reached my goal once. Unfortunately, between 'taking a month off' and depression kicking in, I spiraled over the next five years and not only gained the weight I lost back, but put on a ton more. I topped out at 259.
Needless to say, I needed a huge kick in the butt.
Despite many attempts at getting the weight off, I never got past 40 lbs lost and kept failing and seeing the numbers on the scale rise.
Fast forward to January 21st, 2015. I stepped on the scale and saw 259. I was so angry and ashamed and fed up. For months, years I had been trying to talk myself into getting my butt in gear, I had set dates for it, I had challenged my husband, nothing worked. A dear friend of mine offered to be my daily sounding board, someone to hold me accountable, it just what I needed! So on January 21st, I jumped back on the bandwagon, strapped myself in tight and took off. I am down 47 lbs and going strong. I would love to join in with you ladies and check in when I can (we homeschool so my free time is limited) and to cheer you all on.
So, enough babbling from me. I'll just leave my goal right here...

(Just started upping my cals to go with P90X3 and I'm skeptical that I'll lose anything...just hoping to see five pounds go!)
Have a fantastic day ladies!!!!
