Hello everyone
Hi there!
It's really odd to actually post and dive into these forums. I have been an active reader on and off since 2010. I have never actually participated, doing so today is a sign of commitment to my weight loss journey.
I'm 37 years young, or that's at least how I feel in my mind. (My body sometimes disagrees with feeling young) I'm a divorced mother of two beautiful daughters. I balance the kids with a demanding career.
I can't remember a time in my life that I wasnt considered chubby. However I hit my heaviest weight, 275 lbs about 6 years ago. Troubles in my marriage really led to the loss of concern for myself. After a really difficult divorce 2 years and rebuild of my life, it's time to be nice to myself. I deserve to be happy & active, and to look how I feel on the inside.
I started my journey 7/22- I'm following the Atkins diet. And am proud to say I'm 7 lbs down and more than that I'm hopeful. I really feel like I can do this. I know the support and education on this site with be crucial as I don't have a strong support system at home.
So this is me. I'm excited to get to know everyone.
