Hi Everybody! I'm new to this site, but spent some time browsing around earlier today and decided to join. My name is Renee, I'm 25 from Michigan. I weigh 181 right now, and just started a few days ago eating healthier and exercising. About 5 years ago I lost 33 lbs, doing the same thing, but also was a member of a support buddies group through Ivillage. I actually was a community leader there, and give it alot of credit for keeping me on the bandwagon! I ended up getting sick for about a month with a bad sinus infection, and slowly but surely gained the weight back. Over the last years my weight has fluctuated, had a few more attempts, and within a week or two, and a day or two of missed workouts and "I'll get back on tomorrow..." turned into never
I actually had been back up to 187 but about a month ago i quit eating so much fast food, and dropped a few of it. I'm ready to rock and roll!! I think a huge part of my prior success was definitely the message board. I think this will really help again to keep me motivated and on the right path.
I LOVED being a member of the other board and can't wait to get to know you all!
Hi guys!!
