Hi all, I was so happy to find this support group, those last few pounds are so hard to get off and can be really depressing and although I need a support group, I have found that losing 10 to 20 is different then losing 100.
A little about me, my name is Dana, I live in Montreal, Quebec. I have a three year old daughter and I am 33. I am finishing my last semester at school to become an Early Childhood Educator and I have a wonderful man.
I have been struggling with an extra 10lbs for most of my life, I go up and down and I am pretty sick of being up, I'm way up right now. After I gave birth I lost the 40lbs that I put on but my body has changed and I need to lost some more. I did get down once to 130, it was wonderful, but then I feel invinsible and starting eating like a pig. I am at 144 right now and pretty unhappy, I would like to be 125. I eat really well, and consider myself to be a bit of a health nut, I don't believe in diets but lifestyle changes. I do eat when I am bored and that can be the end of me. My problem is I don't exercise, I move around quite a bit but obviously not enough. My excuse is that I am a full time student and a fulltime mother, my partner works opposite shifts and I just don't have the time. (I can't motivate myself to workout at home). I took yoga in school and my teacher said something that hit me, she said "you will never find the time, you just have to fit it in". She's so right, I am signing up at a gym this weekend. I feel that I could really use some support to help me exercise and eat right and perhaps you ladies can me, as I hope I might offer support as well. I'm sure there are several like me who's closet has three different wardrobes with three different sizes.
How do I get one of those cool wieght counters? Nothing like seeing your progress.
Anyway, I'll stop before I bore you to death, looking forward to getting to know everyone!
Dana
