Default Newbie here
I've started the whole diet thing more times than I can count. So here I am again. I found this site several years ago and apparently I registered but never took the time to look around. So now I'm back and ready to give this another go. I'm tired of so many things about myself mainly I'm just tired of being fat and tired. It just seems hard to think of yourself as fat. I never thought I'd get to that point but I seem to have gotten a good dose of reality recently and taken a good long look at myself. On the outside everything is perfect. I'm married to a wonderful man and have a pretty all-around great kid (even though she's a teenager) but on the inside I have so much to work on both physically and mentally.

So thats where I am. I'm ready to commit to me again.

Ok now the details, lol.

I'm about to be 36 and have been married for 5 years to a wonderful, supportive husband. I have a 16 year old daughter, whom I love dearly even though sometimes she makes me want to pull my hair out! We hail from Baton Rouge, Louisiana. My husband and I both work in I.T.

I forgot to also mention that I had DVT's in both legs 2 years ago and since then have not fully recovered from them. So exercising will be slow to start but I'm ready for the challenge! I also found out from the DVT's that I have a blood clotting disorder that requires me to take Coumadin, well, forever now. So I'll have to find a balance with several different things (no strenuous activity that can cause bruising and I can't eat alot of green veggies, for example)

Welcome, you picked a great name! Since Chicks can be overwhelming at first, I suggest you look for a support group or challenge to join; a small group of friends to help keep you motivated. Find one you like that fits your needs, or inspires you, and just post to join.
