Hi!

I'm Edie. I'm 44 years old and a work from home, homeschooling mom of three! DH is a professor at our local community college. I've done Weight Watchers with some success, Atkins with some success, but I always gained it all back plus some more. I'm starting again, but doing my own thing which is a combo of calorie counting and trying to avoid processed carbs.

Anyway! Just wanted to say HI to everyone here!

One more quick bit of info, DH and I are celebrating our 25th wedding anniversary this December. To celebrate we are taking the kids and going on a family cruise! I decided I DON'T want to purchase a huge swim suit for the cruise. I'd love to drop a few sizes over the next several months and buy a bunch of new clothes for cruising. So THAT'S my current motivation!

Welcome, ediesbeads!! Congrats to you and your DH on almost 25 years! You definitely can be in a smaller bathing suit by then!! I found by joining the threads of people doing the same thing as me at the same current weight was so helpful, we really bonded and motivated each other!

I look forward to your success and updates, post often esp. if you need motivation or advice! Good luck!

Congrats on almost 25 years!! Yes! I'm 26 years old and have only got 3 1/2 years of marriage under my belt, but I've got 3 kids as well, my oldest turned 2 last month, and I have an 11 month old and a 1 month old. Hoping to homeschool and currently working from home as well! So, we've got some things in common.

Best of luck to you! I'm positive that you will look GREAT on your cruise and will have a wonderful time! (I'm so jealous!)
