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! :D !) 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 Annie. You have definitely come to the right place. If you want support, you'll find that here and more. It's a great place to be because everyone knows what you are going through and are willing to help you along the way. I like making friends and enjoying all the wonderful chat. Plus, the support. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. It's great to have you here. Enjoy.

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. :lol:
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.
