Hello...

I'm not sure how long I have been away from the site...but I used to post on this forum. I'm glad to see how many friendly faces are still around! I hope that you don't mind if I jump back in?

I'm just starting back...with a 20# gain over the last year....oops. I have kept up my exercise, but let my eating sliiiiiiiiddddeeeee.......Like many of the posts I have been reading, I'm frustrated with the time I have wasted, and allowing myself to put some of the hard fought weight back on!

However, I have decided that I have to forgive myself, move on and focus on the positive...so here's the good stuff from last year:

1) I kept up my running and finished my first 10K race
2) I got married! Fun!
3) I got myself back to focusing on my health before I put more than 20#s back on!

So here I am again....

Welcome back. Looks like you've achieved a lot while away.

Kris!!!! I thought we'd lost you for good, but you've returned to us like a wayward child ~ welcome back!! Congrats on the wedding (pictures, please) and for completing your 10k run. I'm proud of you! Don't fret, I gained some weight back too (particularly during a month-long visit to Russia where I managed to get into all sorts of trouble...as usual), but I figure we know what we have to do, so we'll just have to put our minds to it! Deal?

P.S. - I'll be in Ottawa at the end of January ~ fancy a skate on the canal (without any stops at the beaver tail huts)?

Welcome back Kris - well done your catching your weight gain before it became too big a problem! You'll lose those 20lb in no time if you stick with us!

Love Amanda x

Thanks for the friendly (re)welcome! I just finished my first week "back on the horse" and I am down two pounds....very welcome news!

Jillegal - You got yourself a deal! A trip on the canal sounds great! Was any of the Russian damage from vodka? Glad to see you are still on the site!

Thanks all for your inspiring stories! Looking forward to "posting" with you often!
