Default Hi, intro and some pics

My name is Angie and I am a stay at home mom to 4 daughters aged 13, 7, and twins who are 4. I have been struggling with weight issues since I was a teenager. I have done so many diets, and pills, and to be honest I am so sick of dieting. I have been back and forth from weight watchers about 7 times. This past fall I started really thinking about my life and my eating habits. I knew I needed to lose weight because I was only getting bigger and bigger, none of my clothes fit and I was depressed. I couldn't even have a conversation with someone because in the back of my mind I kept thinking "they are thinking I am fat" It started taking over my life. Anyway, like I said I knew I needed to lose weight but having failed at weight watchers and many other diets I just couldn't set myself up for that again. Instead I decided to just cut portions and try to make healthier choices. I also joined the gym and have been working really hard.

I started at 230 and my last weigh in (on March 1) was 198. I only weigh myself once a month. I dont want to be a slave to numbers. I want this to be about getting healthly. I went from a size 22 and am currently in a size 16 and some 18's. I have a LONG way to go, but I am feeling better about myself and I really love the fact that I am not counting points or calories...Im just eating healthy. I always found I would become obsessed with points and I hated that.

ANywayt...sorry for rambling. I look forward to getting to know you.

You look good, what a difference 32lb makes. WELL DONE You caught my eye because you look so much like one of my girls skin tone, hair color, and glasses.
Your twins look like they like a bit of mischief, nice looking kids.
Keep up the good work

Hi Angie,

Nice to meet you. Your girls are cute.
Congrats on your achievement - 32 pounds off, that's excellent. I am not counting calories either, just trying to make healthy choices and eat sensibly (in instead of eating how much I want whenever I want).
Welcome at 3FC!
