I'd like to join too please!
My name is Stacye (of course) I'm 37 yrs old, married to G and I have an 11 yr old DSS (darling stepson) ... G and I have been together since 1998 and we own a land surveying company which allows me to work from home most of the days.
I started losing weight in August as sort of a pre-GBS weightloss plan ... I don't think I really wanted to go thru with surgery b/c I ended up challenging myself to a 50 lb weightloss by Jan. 1st ... if I made this challenge then I would no longer consider surgery! Well, I lost 55 lbs by Dec 31st ... so no surgery for me ... Yippie! Oh and my hubby was VERY happy about that too - altho he supported my decision, he was far from being a fan of having it done!
Over the years I've tried just about everything to lose weight ... most resulting in short term success and all resulting in weight GAIN! This time is so different than every time before, it's just a gut feeling I have that I'm going to make it this time! I'm sure y'all know what I'm talking about!
My loss to date has been done the old fashioned way ... eating less and moving more! Whodathunkit!! It actually DOES work! lol
I'm also counting cals ... I've recently 'revamped' my intake to 1600-1800 - which seems to be working ... after a few weeks of being platued, I've lost 5 lbs this week!
My exercise consists of 3 days of 1 hr cardio and 2 days of 30 min cardio which then gives me the weekends off. This is a new plan so I'm anxious to see how things are going to work!
Gosh, sorry for the ramble ... if I don't stop now I'll still be posting tomorrow! I look forward to getting know each of you!
Have a great night!
