new Alabamaian looking for buddy
 

Hi I'm Kate :wave: and I'm looking for a buddy to help be accountable for my diet choices. I'm a stay at home mom of a 9 yo, 7 yo, 6 yo and a 8 month old. I'm 5'10" and last time I weighed my self I was at 240 :mad: :o :eek:. before I had children I was a size 5 and wieghed 135 pounds. I know that not a realistic goal for me now. I'd be happy at 150. :dancer: I've been an ex smoker for a year now and I still find myself eating for no reason. :jeno: I need help.

Hi Kate, welcome to 3FC's. I'm Jenn and our stories sound alike. I'm a 26 year old stay at home mom with 2 beautiful girls ages 6 and 11 months, kinda hard to eat right when you have 2 small children eating snacks a lot, lol. I was 140 lbs before I had kids, I weighed 200 lbs after my last daughter was born. I got down to 160 doing adkins but it was so strict i couldn't stick with it and gained back 20 lbs. So, I was 180 Sunday when i started the South Beach Diet and i'm already down 6 lbs! YAY! If you have any questions or would like to just talk and exchange eating habits, don't hesitate to email at [email protected]
I'm still a smoker, promised myself that when I get to 160 lbs again I'm gonna quit, kinda like having motivation both ways. Good luck!

thanks, I have been up and down the scale too. I've never did any formal diet beforethough. I just started walking more or last time I worked as a clerk at a Flying J truck stop. I burned more fat running up and down the fuel desk. I get discouraged easily. So maybe we can encourage each other, losing weight and quitting smoking. :coffee: :coffee: Now that I've had my coffee I'm going to look for one of my old work out tapes wish me luck :cb:
