Hey, new here.
 

Just found you guys over the weekend. My name is Tonyia, I'm 36. I have 4 kids ( 2 mine, 2 step sons) my oldest by birth is 19 and he is moved out and my oldest stepson is 18 and moved out as well. The other 2 are 15 and 9, the 9yr old is my only girl and the 15 yr old is my youngest stepson. (I know, i'm already confusing LOL) I also have 4 dogs that keep me busy, 3 of them are boxer dogs so they are super active! I just wish they would rub off on me :carrot: I am married to a great guy who loves me for me! ;)

I start Fat Smash in the morning. This is the first weight loss program I have ever done the healthy way. I am 5'3 and weigh 167lbs right now. I quit smoking 2 yrs ago and lost my mother and depression hit so the weight just came on.

I am an eating disorder survivor so this is a new way for me to lose weight. Deep down I really just want to starve myself thin because that is what I always did before but I have a 9yr old daughter now who listens to everything I say and do and I do not want to give her an eating disorder. :( Plus I don't want to get sick like I did before either..not fun!

My normal weight is 123lbs so as you can I have gained a lot (and most of it happened within a few months) and it's really bothering me mentally. I am extremely pumped to start this new way of life and so I really hope it works so I won't feel like a failure right away.

Anyway that's me! :)

My normal weight for my height (5'7") is around 150- and right now I am a good 130 pounds over that so I understand your fight and motivation to get back to your old self again. Welcome and I hope you will find support with 3FC!

Welcome and good luck to you! Just stick to what works for you and you shall be fine!
