Hi everyone, I only discovered this site a few days ago and have really enjoyed browsing through it. It is great to see all the positive comments and just how supportive everyone is. So to introduce myself, I am a mother of 3 children 12, 2 and 12 weeks. We are currently living in New Zealand but looking to move over to the states for awhile. My husband is applying for jobs at this stage in Pittsburgh so if anyone out there can tell us about the place we would really appreciate it.
I have started exercising and eating healthy (most days) so that I can get down to my pre-pregnancy weight. So far not doing to badly, but I am terrible at following diets, the exercise I don't have an issue with as I love been fit, but when you tell me I can't eat something I generally want it. Luckily for me may baby is dairy intolerant so that means chocolate which is my biggest weakness is off the list a long with most takeaway foods as they have some dairy in them. Well I guess that is me, glad to be here :-)
I'm Tammara. I can relate (in a different sort of way). I have lived most my life in NJ and now I live in Preston, UK with my husband Eric. I'm feeling quite homesick myself and just seeing NJ in your message caught my eye! I can't really say that I miss the snow, but it is quite strange knowing that I'm in a whole new environment and I won't be able to pop on the train to go to New York!
Hmmm New York.... Preston.... New York... poor you! Only kidding! You'll love it here, our ever changable weather, Fish and Chips (stay away EVIL DIET-BUSTING THINGS! ), tea. Red buses, you know, the general!
Hi, I'm new, although I've been lurking for a couple of days. I don't really know what to say, other than that I've never tried to lose weight before, and so far am going really well. I am now officially addicted to exercise (I'm in serious danger of winning my gym's "member of the month" competition sometime soon), and I've even retrained my eating habits. I went to the supermarket today and bought nothing but fresh fruit, veg and mineral water. The time before it was the same, with the addition of some chicken and low fat yoghurt.
Anyway, the weight's dropping off at the moment, but I'm guessing that it won't always do that, so I'm registering here in advance to get to know some people for when I really need it!
Hi YP1, welcome! It sounds like you're doing great! Don't forget the occasional treat in with all that good stuff, don't deny anything you really truly want, just have it in tiny tiny quantities. It makes the boring dieting a lot more interesting, and you're less likely to fall off the wagon!
Don't worry, I've got some marzipan sweets I'm working my way through (slowly), and I'm off on holiday in 2 weeks so I'll be indulging myself then. I'm not really trying to stick to any hard and fast rules at the moment, it's more that I'm discovering that I actually want to eat fruit and veg (gasp!). I've discovered the benefits of having a pile of fruit on my desk at work, and don't even want to go to the chocolate machine. But when that craving hits, I'm sure I'll give in to it!
thanks
