New Here!

  • Hi everyone!

    I'm 27 years old and live in Colorado. I've been married for almost 7 years and have an almost 6 year old son. I enjoy reading, crafty stuff of all kinds, and gardening. I have degrees in English and Marketing. I'm shy and have a dark sense of humor. I dislike cleaning, camping, and not having anything to do.

    I've been struggling with my weight for about 8 years, ever since I stopped waitressing and started working office jobs. I adopted my skinny husband's terrible eating habits at the same time. I went from 120 to 200+ in three years, and while I've been able to lose pretty large amounts of weight, it always piles back on much faster than I can lose it. I'm hovering at 204 now, at five foot two. It's discouraging. Obesity is a big problem in my family, and so are ALL the fat-related illnesses. I'm basically a ticking time bomb.

    This time around, I'm going to try a much more structured approach. I'm hoping to meet some new friends on here-- we can cheer each other on and hold each other accountable! for new beginnings!


  • Welcome and good luck on your journey!!
  • Ahh, I am so jealous that some people can stay skinny and eat so much like your husband!

    Welcome!
