Hello

Just introducing myself cause I need to loose some poundage. I am an army wife and mom of three (7, 5, & 4) I love to garden, sew, scrapbook and bake (that is probably why I am needing to lose weight! !) I am a nurse but not working right now till my preschooler goes to school full time. Anyhow I think this site looks very cool and hip and wanted to join. I think that when I am tempted to eat I shall just log on and chat instead!

I have stared the Gym a couple weeks ago - got on a program so hopefully if I can tame my sweet tooth I can lose some wieght.

Hope to make some buddies here!

Hi, My name is Nikki, I live in GA, I've been here 9 years form VA. I have 2 kids 3 & 5 and my husband works at night, including weekends- makes it hard to find time to exercise. But i am trying. i have a bet with some co-workers just to jumpstart our weight lost. October 28 is weigh in day- whoever loses the most weight gets $300!

Welcome to 3FC, Nikki.

I'm Annie. Guess I failed to mention anything about my family. I'm 34, and a mother to 3 ages 11(boy), 9(girl), and 3 1/2(girl). My oldest 2 live in Iowa with their father and I am currently living in Vermont with my current DH. I'm currently unemployed but am hoping to find work soon. I quit my job about 5 weeks ago. I can't remember. It's been so long and I've gotten so bored at not working. But it is nice to be home with my little one. DH stayed home with our daughter while I worked so I am wanting to pack up and move home to Iowa since neither of us is working. I think it would be a great change for all us. Not to mention I could be closer to my family. It would be nice because I could workout with my aunt and possibly my mother.

I have plenty of time on my hands to exercise. I just really hate doing it.
I know I have to start doing it sometime though or I am going to be stuck at 213 forever or worse... Gain More Back. I so don't want to go back to 240. I find it odd though that I haven't really lost any in pant sizes. Hmm.. not sure why.. Maybe it's because I am so short.. 5'4...

Can you find anytime before the kids wake to get in a little exercise or after they go to bed. I know.. going to bed means quiet time for mom.. Take the kids out for daily walks.. That's a great way to get some. My daughter loves to get out no matter the weather. She'd live outdoors if she could.

I was wanting to join a gym but they are so expensive and I feel a little out of place there.. Most of the people seem to be in such great shape. I would feel like the would be wondering why I was there or laughing at me.. Does that make sense? I have bad self esteem. I am hoping losing more weight will help with that. I want to be fit and healthy and be a more suitable weight so I can chase after the kids.

Ok.. so I rambled a bit. Good luck and if you ever need to talk let me know.

Have a good day.
