Hello
I was really excited to find this forum. I totally stumbled upon it, while web surfing at work. I am 37, a registered nurse, married and have 3 girls, ages 8,7,3. I have not seen my pre-pregnant weight since I had the first one 8 yrs ago, I weight about twice what I use too. I'm currently at 240 , and would love to be half that or more, since I am only 5'2
I am really looking forward to coming to this forum/website to reach my goals, to recieve support, and give support.
I want to feel good about myself, not be tired all the time, and although I do actively play with my kids, my endurance is low. I want to be fit and healthy, for me and for them.
Thanks
Amy

Welcome Amy..Good luck with your weight loss efforts! You can do it!

Hi Amy and welcome. Did you have any special eating or activity plan in mind?

Hello and Welcome!! Good Luck with your weight loss!! You can do it!

Thanks for the great welcome!
I'm not sure what kind of plan I have for exercise and eating, i've just about done it all, whether it's south beach, WW or food exchange ( what I did with first place weight lost program at church). Probably WW or the exchange provides the best, with also watching low cholesterol,low fat,etc
Exercise I just have to get motivated, we have a treadmill, and I have a ton of exercise videos/dvd's. I just need to get started!

Thanks
Amy

Hi 3girls4me
Boy do I hear all you are saying , I all so am just over 5 feet and it has been 12 years since I was trim and terrific ,I have two daughters ,12 and 19 also a grandson that runs me ragged .Luckily I have a great hubby to chase them down for me and then drag them back lol.
I also have weigh machines, tread mills, exercise bike and work out DVD but just don’t get off my big butt to use them. I need a serious talking to or a good kick in the pants.
I have been riding my push bike to work for the last two week and I am proud of myself for this as I do work 12 shifts and the round trip on the bike is 10 miles. Not a marathon I know but at least I am doing some exercise
