Default Just wanted to introduce myself...

Hi everyone, I am Allyssa and I live in Texas. I am married and have 3 kids ages 16-13 & 3.5. I am a working mom and have come to a point where I am tired of gaining weight and not doing anything about it. I'm a comfort eater or just a habit eater, whatever you want to call it - it's me. I lost weight last year to get me to where I wanted to be and then things got hectic and here the weight came again. So I know I can do this...it's just sticking to it and doing it - I know one of the things that helped me before was the support and thats what I see here is an awesome amount of support. I want to lose about 30 pounds and what better time than the New Year. I am starting with a whole new outlook - I can deal with stress without eating everything in sight and I can start relaxing and have a little more time to make me happy. So here I am and I look forward to getting to know everyone.

Hi, Allyssa...although you have much less weight to lose than I do, we are still in this together, as we both desire to lose regardless of the number. It sounds like you have the positive outlook it will take to be successful this year! I look forward to watching your success as we get to know each other through 3FC this year!

Thanks for the welcome. I really appreciate it - I was a little hesitant about joining but the more I read, I knew this was where I needed to be. You all are an awesome support system for each other and I am very glad to be a part of it. If I can help in any way, please just let me know.

Thanks Allison.

What beautiful dogs - love the pic.

30 pounds is a great accomplishment!! Oh, I want my thinggy to move - lol. Fly butterfly, fly!!!

I've drank so much water today I feel like I could slosh right out of my chair but walking up and down the stairs to get to the bathroom is a good workout!!!

Gotta get busy - have a great day
