3 Fat Chicks on a Diet Weight Loss Community - I'm not really new her, but it's been a while!

Hi everyone!

I'm Christina, and I used to be on 3FC...back in 2005-2006. I lost 20 pounds successfully on the South Beach Diet and was doing very well...until I got pregnant in August 2006. And pregnancy normally comes with weight gain, but I did senseless some stress/comfort eating and not so much exercising, then got stuck on bedrest, and gained and gained and gained :( My son was born on March 3, 2007, and I kept saying I was going to lose the extra 35 pounds I was carrying around, but never really got there because I kept coming up with excuses.

Now my baby is 10 months old and I am flat out of excuses! I don't fit into any pre-pregnancy clothes, and I feel sad about it, because I *could* have if I would have taken better care of myself. So, here I am, giving the SBD (combined with exercise of course) another go, trying to get that baby weight off for good! I am truly hoping for the best!

The basics on me: I am 29 years old, married to a truck driver (so that leaves a lot of quiet time after my baby is in bed when I have nobody in real life to talk to!!). I am a recent chemistry Ph.D. grad, and even though I am a stay-at-home-mom now, I am looking for jobs and hoping to land something in my field soon. For now, I live in FL and spend a lot of time at Disney World (yay for annual passes!), taking photos, mainly of my son, writing, walking, sewing, and digiscrapping.

Nice to meet all of you and I'm happy to be back!!
