Default New MN Mommy!

Hello Everyone! My name is Corissa and I am 20 years old. I am a SAHM to my 6 month old daughter, Willow. We live in MN, in an apartment with Will's dad and my boyfriend Mike. Mike and I have been together for almost 5 years.

When Mike and I started dating I was skinny but pretty unhealthy. I never ate and curbed my hunger by drinking soda and smoking. Mike taught me how to eat again, and over the course of 5 years I have put on a 100 lbs. Now, there were a couple of factors that played into that such as pregnancy and things. But, I am ready to have my old self back and to be healthy. I want to be able to run around with my daughter and not need a break every 5 minutes!

If anyone is interested in buddying up for support or just a new friend, let me know! I am ready for my butt to not be so chunky...how about you??

PS- I LOVE this little guy He reminds me of Brian from Family Guy when he does the Peanut Butter Jelly song!! LOL, sorry, just had to add that!

Welcome to 3FC Corissa. What a beautiful name by the way.
I'll be your buddy.
My name is Leec. I am 33, married and have a 2 year old daughter. I will agree with you about being able to get up and play with you daughter. I will tell you that this has been a huge motivator for me. This is especially true now that my daughter is so active. I realized that I needed to do something when I had a hard time getting up from the floor after sitting and playing with my daughter.
Wishing you the best of luck on you weight loss journey.
Are you following a particular plan?
Talk to you soon

Leec

PS Willow is so adorable!!

Hello Leec, how is your name pronounced? I have never seen that before. My doctor just gave me a prescription for Meridia to help me get going. Part of me wants it to work just to work but the other part of me wishes it doesn't because it is so expensive! I am also going to start out following Weight Watchers on my own. I have done WW so many times I know it like the back of my hand. I just can't give up this time! Is there a specific "diet" ( I hate that word, it just feels like failure!) that you are following? Thank you for the complements! They mean so much to me!

My full name is actually Aleecia (pronounced AH-LEE-C-AH) but everyone just calls me Leec.
I am counting calories. So far it has been working for me.
I agree about the word diet. To me its just another 4 letter word. I don't say that I'm on a diet, because everytime I do I land up failing.
Its great that you've seen a doctor to help you out. Maybe the Meridia will help give you a kick start until you can find something that you can do as a lifestyle.
