Default Hello from Southern Colorado!

Hi all!

I just found this website this week, and have had a great time just lurking about so I decided to join!

My journey has been a tough one (isn't it always?) I was skinny until I moved in with my Hubby (about 7 years ago) and then I gained over 100 pounds. I topped out about 263 a few years ago, lost 50 pounds and then got pregnant. Since then I gained back to about 237, and this past January I started trying to lose weight again. I got down to 200 and slacked off in June and got back up to 215(ish) and now I'm starting again!

This is the third try, so you know what they say! Hopefully this third time is a charm (and not my third strike!)

My husband is an over the road truck driver, and so my daughter and I stay at home in Colorado. I'm going back to school to be a nurse, and I am passionate about photography.

I look forward to meeting many of you!

Your start weight and height, match mine almost exactly! So, I'm here to tell you that sticking around 3FC is a GREAT idea. This site is awesome!

I could not have successfully maintained my lost this last year without the great folks around here
