Not even sure how I managaed to find this forum, but I am so thankful I did! I've been lurking for a few days and the forum looks so informative.
My name is Andrea, I'm 32 and life is pretty good besides the extra 100 lbs I'm carrying!
I have a goal to get back into shape. I haven't been in shape and "healthy" since 2000 - the year our 1st daughter was born. Before I was pregnant, I weighed about 170 (even then I could have eaten healthier and been in better shape!) At 170, I was comfy for my lifestyle at the time.
Fast forward ten years, 2 kids later and almost 100 pounds heavier. (263lbs) When I realized I had gained almost 100 lbs I nearly passed out. Why did I let that happen?! I saw the signs...clothes didn't fit, snoring, feeling terrible and tired all the time....and many more. But it's time to change. My attitude is ready -my body is aching and sore but we are pushing on! My goal is many baby steps of 5-10lbs with the ultimate goal at 150.
I've got a geat plan going already and am really looking for an awesome support group!
