Hi, intro and some pics
 

My name is Angie and I am a stay at home mom to 4 daughters aged 13, 7, and twins who are 4. I have been struggling with weight issues since I was a teenager. I have done so many diets, and pills, and to be honest I am so sick of dieting. I have been back and forth from weight watchers about 7 times. This past fall I started really thinking about my life and my eating habits. I knew I needed to lose weight because I was only getting bigger and bigger, none of my clothes fit and I was depressed. I couldn't even have a conversation with someone because in the back of my mind I kept thinking "they are thinking I am fat" It started taking over my life. Anyway, like I said I knew I needed to lose weight but having failed at weight watchers and many other diets I just couldn't set myself up for that again. Instead I decided to just cut portions and try to make healthier choices. I also joined the gym and have been working really hard.

I started at 230 and my last weigh in (on March 1) was 198. I only weigh myself once a month. I dont want to be a slave to numbers. I want this to be about getting healthly. I went from a size 22 and am currently in a size 16 and some 18's. I have a LONG way to go, but I am feeling better about myself and I really love the fact that I am not counting points or calories...Im just eating healthy. I always found I would become obsessed with points and I hated that.

ANywayt...sorry for rambling. I look forward to getting to know you. :)

Hi Angie,

Nice to meet you. Your girls are cute.
Congrats on your achievement - 32 pounds off, that's excellent. I am not counting calories either, just trying to make healthy choices and eat sensibly (in instead of eating how much I want whenever I want). :o
Welcome at 3FC!
