Default I'm here now what?

Well let me tell you a little about myself sincethis is my introduction. My name is Rachel I am a midwesteren gal all round. I have two Children 3 if you count my over grown child of a husband Love him though. any who....

I smoked from my early teen years up until I got preggers with my first child that was about 12 years. I stopped smoking and then picked it back up when he was 4and my youngest was 2 wosrt thing I had ever done.

Now two years into not smoking and I have gone from 186 to well over 220 I'm not even sure how much I weigh at this point I haven't stepped on a scale since the last time I did about a year ago I weighed 220 at the drs office. I never really had isuse with my body image until recently. I was always ok with me. and after giving birth and nursing two children I was in amazment of my body it was a wonderful thing that created, grew, and nourished life I was amazed with my body and it's wonderful feats never saddened by the way it looked.

Recently I feel like my body is holding me back from doing the things I want to do. I want to be fit again not nessesarily skinny just fit. I want to be comfortable with out cloths on. I think I had a banging body at 160 in my early 20's and looked a lil unhealthy at 140 in my late teens. I'm about 5'5 so I'm not sure how much I'm suppose to weigh. But I think 160 would be good.

I came here to get support and share my journey. I figured a bunch of other gals going through the same thing would be the best support.

Welcome Rachel! You are definitely in the right place and I agree about having some friends to share this journey with.

Congratulations on being a non smoker again! I know the weight gain is awful, but you are ahead of the game in that you are already not smoking anymore.

We can lose this weight. I only have one 3 year old and one husband... So, that's two for me.

take care and reach out anytime.
