Default Just thought that I would introduce myself. (updated with pics)
I'm 28 years old, been married 9 years and have two boys. I love punk rock and fantasy/sci-fi books. I werk in a group home for developmentally disabled adults.

I've been dieting since I was a tween. I had a rough life and binge ate. By the time I was 18 I was 260 lbs and having a hard time of it. I lost 125 lbs and kept off the weight until I got PG with my second child then gained back 65 lbs. I am now about 20 lbs from my goal and am excited to be able to fit back in my old clothes again.

Me at 245



4 years later at 145



135



Back to 200 when I had son#2



160 lbs last month

Congratulations on being 20lbs away from your goal weight! It is exciting when you can fit back in old clothes again.

Hi there &

Congrats on your weight loss so far! You definitely know what you're doing. Have a look around & post wherever you're comfortable! (I like sci-fi/fantasy, too ) You may enjoy the Featherweights or the Alternachicks areas. Or both! No need to stick to just one place, though.

Best of success!!!

Low carb mostly. Working helped too because I was more active and I tend to eat out of boredom.
