I'm back :)

  • Hi! I'm Penelope

    I used to be really active on 3FatChicks, especially on the Chicks in Control board. Then...in January 2008, I started college as well as a part time job. As my stress level went up, I started eating really badly again and I stopped coming here. I ended up gaining back almost all the weight that I had lost shortly before joining 3FatChicks.

    I struggled to get my eating under control for the rest of the year, but I just wasn't ready to really knuckle down. In December 2008, I made a final resolution to start eating right again, knowing that that was the first obstacle that I needed to tackle to get healthy. In January 2009, I found out that DB and I were expecting out first baby I started eating healthier then I had since 2007, but of course, the whole losing weight idea would have to wait.

    On February 7, we found out that our baby had passed away at 9 weeks It's been a long journey to where I am now, finally feeling like myself again and ready to get back on the weightloss train. I want to be healthy for me, and also so that we can start TTC this summer.

    So far, I've lost 5 pounds, and I have 20 more to go. I'm looking forward to getting to know people here again, and getting involved in everything!
