3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - Renewing myself physically and spiritually

Hi! I've been coming here off and on for a while now, but never posted before now. I'm a 35 year old mom of 3 kids, and would like to lose about 55 pounds. I'm currently 210 and would like to be at 155. My story is similar to many, in that I was never really overweight until I had my first child. I gained about 50 lbs. but only lost about 30 after pregnancy. I hovered around that until getting pregnant again about 4 years later. After this pregnancy while breast feeding, I lost a lot of weight through no fault of my own. I was down to about 155 again, and felt great about how I looked. Unfortunately over the next few years I gradually put weight back on until I was somewhere in the 180s when I got pregnant with my 3rd child. After that pregnancy I stayed in the 180s for a while but have gradually crept up to where i am now, 6 years later at 210. All my kids are in school now, and as I've been a SAHM for 14 years, I hope to use the time I have during the day to create a new me physically and spiritually. As well as losing weight I think I'd like to finally decide what to do when I grow up! I've been thinking aobut going back to college. I don't know, I'll just take it one day at a time and see what happens.
