Hi everyone! My name is Amy, I'm 22 years old. I've got 2 beautiful girls, Hayley (4) and Riley (2).
I'm a young mommy, and I never bothered to lose my baby weight. A little over a month ago, I went to see my doctor and he put me on Phentramine (Weight Loss Pill). I've lost 11lbs so far, with only 50 to go! My willpower has recently informed me that I need a little help. I've been calorie counting, exercising, and being more active with my girls. I miss food! Eating healthier has felt good, but I still miss my favorites (ie: Chinese, Mexican, Italian foods.)
I look forward to meeting all of you! My goal for this month is to lose 5lbs, and to get off of those pills that I've been told are so yucky for me.
I'm glad to be a part of your community, and thank you for having me

Hi Amy!

Hello AMYBEAR . . . . . . from a fellow Canadian. Originally born in Toronto but have lived in Nova Scotia for about 13 years now. As someone, old enough to be your grandmother, I definitely agree with Cheryl . . . lose it now, kiddo, because it definitely does not get easier as you get older.

Anyway, you have taken a really great step on the long winding road to better health and fitness by coming to 3FC and I know you will love it, here. It is a very big community so take your time and have a good look around. Don't be shy . . . whenever something catches your eye, just jump right in and start posting. You will receive a warm welcome wherever you wander.

Also wanted to let you know we have a pretty active thread on the go called the Crazy Canuks Cluck Club and here is a link to it . . . http://www.3fatchicks.com/forum/showthread.php?t=106341 . . . Hope you will make that one of your daily stops around 3FC.

Have a great moving and shaking kind of day, Chickie . . . if you just keep doing the good stuff as much as you can, the rewards will definitely follow. See you soon . . .

Hello Amy!!

I just joined today!! I am still a little skeptical. I joined the Y at the beginning of the year and I have lost 13 lbs so far.( I think that I have gained a few back though...) but I am not so much saying that I am on a diet. I am just trying to be healthier and not be winded after climbing two flights of stairs. Good luck on your journey!!
