[Squidget]

Most people call me Squidget. I weigh 194.4 lbs and I want to get down to 150lbs before the new year. I'm more worried about my pants size then my actual weight, but the numbers are a great guide. I had preeclampsia with my pregnancy. My daughter was born in May of 2010, completely healthy, and I still haven't made much progress on myself. My main issue is I have a lot of loose skin that wont go back into any shape except lumpy. I have tried lotions and creams that don't work. My mother in law keeps telling me that the skin will go back to the way it was. Well not to insult her but all her kids were natural births, I had a c-section and I expanded after my daughter was born because my kidneys didn't work. I was also completely bed ridden for a month and was limited on my movement for months after.
I started walking and jogging a week ago, and I'm also watching how much I eat.
I have the greatest cheering section ever! My husband is really sportive in everything I want to do and try to do. He helps me with everything, and does most of it with me when he can. I want to be healthy for my family, and I want to feel good about myself too. I'm glad I found this forum and I hope to make some friends.

P.S. how do you make those cool signatures I keep seeing? I would love to have one.

By the way, you may have given a bit too much information in your post so stalkers could find you. I am going to edit it slightly. If you object, just post here and I'll restore. We worry about our chickies!

Why thank you, I didn't realize. I usually start a new user post like that. I like this forum more and more the more I'm here! Thank you.

I can change you to just plain Squidget and you won't feel a thing!
