Time to go for it . . .
Hello there, wherever you may be. I'm not great at typed introductions, come to think of it, I'm not that great at them in person either. Might as well skip the small stuff and get right to it.
I'm 31, have two kids, aged 5 and 2, and have struggled with my weight my whole life. Until my second pregnancy I was never obese, but by my last OB appt I weighed 255. I lost some weight after my son's arrival, but soon found myself at 245 pounds again. I suppose I should mention that I have ongoing dysthymia. Over the last 18 months I got down to 175 pounds, on my own with diet and exercise. In the last few months I have quit smoking and gained some weight, this morning my trusty scale said 199. The thought of seeing a 2-- number on my scale was too much too handle, so today was the day I decided I had to get back on it.
I didn't start my food journal, I figured one final day of eating what I love (hey the salami and aged cheddar in the fridge was too good to waste) wouldn't hurt in the grand scheme. I did start the Insanity workout program, Day 1 Fitness Test sure felt like a real workout, we'll see how tomorrow goes.
I have been lurking for a few weeks, I knew that the creep was happening. I'm happy to have joined, I look forward to sharing our experiences =)

How frustrating to see that scale go up and down so much, and heaven forbid you have to see the 200's again!! That would have scared me shitless too (to get down so far and then realize the 2's might creep back in)! I hope we can all help eachother to loose this stupid weight
