Hi, My name is stephanie. I am living in Tennessee but was raised in Mississippi. I am 33 and have been married for 11 yrs (well will be 11 on 7/6). I love to scrapbook. My husband is currently deployed and will be home in September. I am working on losing weight for when he comes home. I have lsot 17lbs since he has been gone but i need to lose alot more. I have always been told i was fat since i was in Jr. High. Now i look back at the pictures and i wasn't fat. I am now. I hope to get alot of support and encouragment from here.

Hi Stephieann,
Welcome to this website! I just found this out recently myself.
Congraduations on your weight loss, that's awesome! What are you doing to lose weight? Myself, I'm doing Atkins and so far it's been working for me. No side affects or anything.
Congrats on your wedding anniversary too! I'm going to celebrate my wedding anniversay on July 5th. I don't know what I'm doing to do, let alone eat, but I'm not stressing out on it.
Feel free to write anytime.

Hey Stephieann -

Welcome to the site!

It will be a fabulous treat for your husband to come home to the skinny and more confident you. It must be really difficult not to just stress eat like crazy with him over there. (I know that's what I'd be doing.) So you deserve extra props!

I'm just getting into scrapbooking. What a great hobby! Best of luck to you on your journey.
